There are actually garden ornaments of saints
garden ornaments of whimsical angels
sculptures of mothers and daughters
somewhere left within these rose like gates.
Thorns apart
I slipped on by
and viewed a sorrowful sight.
She looked outside the window
and then on to the pebble stone route.
Twas as basic and as straightforward as that.
She opened her thoughts
and then slipped into a dream
the 1 she knew she could.
Twas as easy and as straightforward as that.
Melting in to the horizon
she stood
melancholy kid
destined for sainthood
someday.
Charms held on the bracelet
she stole them from Alice I think.
They dangle guarantees
of significant treasures.
Alice understands.
Pungent smell of an orange peel
tickles her nose
mouth waters
taking in all these wedges
so neatly within their divides.
Everybody includes a program.
It’s as very simple and as simple as that.
Garden hoses are like snakes
when set within a wading pool
Ophelia knows a dismal end
drinking water surrounds
drowned
pitiful without wind
a statue now
at the bottom of an imagined lake.
And it really is as straightforward
and as easy
as that.
Very poor pitiful soul
inside a box
no address disclosed.
Remembering Edna St. Vincent Millay
“The sky caved in
by and by”
I bow my head
and don’t forget yesterday
that so swiftly slipped away.
It is as straightforward and as easy as that.
You can find garden ornaments of saints
garden ornaments of whimsical angels
sculptures of mothers and daughters
someplace left inside these rose like gates.
Thorns apart
I slipped on by
and viewed a sorrowful sight.
I sang a song for Ophelia
and told the whimsical angels to bid her farewell.
It was not simple
it had been not straightforward
however the dove flew none the less.
