little ghosts and tiny feet wrinkled in the bath Hitler is a mighty queen hands on hips she's Italy swanking at age six I see scrubbing her tenacity blowing bangs in exhaled sigh pounding wrath upon the gleam bubbles bursted by a child... folding fingers one by one (is this the way?) that finger hums a soldier's dirge salute-- tell me where do lingers stray tell me tales of absolute signs of fish fast drawn in sand-- quickly it is swept away remembered with a nod--astute-- scribe within a veil. Wells in pool circle-eyes dwells in olives hypnotized little girl and mommy's dead-- daddy's just a dream she dreamt-- and fairy tales are fancy lies... little ghosts and tiny feet-- she kissed them just like momma did and told each toe that they'd been bad... blowing bangs too short for this.

Serenity this is going to haunt my thoughts for the rest of the day. I suppose it achieved its purpose. What powerful imagery to have penned. Well done indeed. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |
