Magnolia carries the scent of candles
          Neatly touching my forehead
Like folding June, and its critical deadlines
Just inches from my puckered lips
        Which defies gravity & routine egos!
The heat of wings, dying my hair green
Sweating in the lap of steamy creation
Of even Divinity, ambiguous strangers of sorts
Who believe in themselves, despite the loss of 21 Grams
      Advertising reincarnation….proudly
Somewhere dogs howl to grasp my attention
And they do, but world-weariness sets new laws
Primordial low voices eat vegetables they grew
And they can the results
Homegrown brew!
Aware of no hazard, from the miasma of voodoo
         Humanity is Zesty and Complete,
         Unbeknown, like a thief in the night
Stealing my dreams…my plateaus, you name it!!!!
I’ve fallen down and I can’t get up
Yet, imagination becomes a beggar
Seeking a new partner
Sounds weaves me a white wedding dress
    gleaming with mauve tea roses
My tailor and I become a twosome
Who woulda ever thought, tire tracks could find themselves?
