youth & school
like two
emerging voices
handed down
a nanny's fairy tail
it is rumored
night is deep rooted
like gossip
scattered
to
the
winds
but night
is a coffee shop
of
bewildering sunlight
powerless to resist

then
a
few
tears
spill over
         off spring
                    of fat
                           gleaming sun
less shy
with
her own camera crew
of meddlers
playing
music
in the night
and
so
youth
jumps
out a wider window
hatching inner
flesh of sight
and
the school
the school
sometimes seems
like an ambush
for the
gambler's choice
of substance in
a reading room
imagining grief
trembling
at the thought of
fate
licking
her lips

When I read your words I could visualize the VT campus...

And does the anticipated fate end at sundown?
Or is it to be another long day?
Another morning sipping at Starbucks
Waiting for someone else’s day…

"...youth jumps out a wider window..." very poetic, my friend...the depth in you continues to amaze, even if this is the shortest of yours I've read.

enjoyed, as usual...
