So it goes
like sticks on barbed wire
I watch the want rattle in a child's hand
diamond flashes
peeling white pickets of boredom
pony girl rustling fallen leaves
tempest restless - humming
rainbow in a teardrop
her sunbeam squint , furrows of tomorrow
a chrysalis
hidden under the jade of a grapevine
a cat and a spider on a broken fence
torn web and a tilted paw
blackbirds spun the horizon
as jets streaked my blue sky
