Driftwood

Springtime
found Driftwood
sprawled apart
in her
sandstone garden

Rotted at the crotch
where once
Hen and Chicks
grew…

Gardening
found her
split in halves

A solar light,
thrust into her
decaying heart,
spared Driftwood
from cremation…
That final blow
illuminating
a nocturnal
fatal wound
of art…
  
Decorations of
copper butterflies
bobbing  on wires
sprouting from
her many
worm holes
A terra cotta
high rise
spilling chicks
between her legs

Ahhh . . . Driftwood seems to have been neglected much too long . . . She, however has spirit and the spirit is not Rotted. Driftwood will survive to love another day.

Her beauty has simply changed.  What some see as rotten waste others see as a continuation of her natural beauty and accentuate it.  I appreciae your comments.
