turncoat


a soliloquy:

the edge of moon is red

teal is my skirt, blooming of spring lilies

slip-fall, skip-boomerang


where is the sky [ sky,  sky,  sky ]

running, wake up from this gripping drama  [drama,  drama ]

i am unquenched, still thirsty for the         sun            [sun]

hailstorm & morose wind, a turncoat!


dead ends, my hangers are gone

seeds, tulips

           <go back now>

i must pry these pearls from the box, hopeful yet lost
