She held her hands
towards a lineage of trees
that her heart became
one with the desert

Each time
they came for her heart
she lamented in the wake of regret

That ill feeling
the one where a girl
stands on the side of the road
with her purse strings flailing at the streets end

Her hands don't hold stone, anymore
nor the period of descent
where a body lunges down towards a fear
of never rising above the reclusive thoughts
that hindered her childhood years

Those strands of hair, auburn
towards the steps of the orchid
that hid her secrets
beneath the remnants of her scorned lips

She laid herself in the middle,
the orchid; decadent, separate
with her thoughts onto the grass
of the sage felt orchid wall.

Enigmatic, Tomer-magic, which leaves one pondering the depths of the pain and sensitive, rich beauty of the mind of the girl in the poem.

Wow Tomer... Who is this poet that speaks vividly
words of before, of today, of tomorrow.
Enjoyed,
