Starburst Reverie In A Woman's Mind
An ebb of light
seeds the shore
of her mind...how it flowers with possibility
As her brain deigns to sleep
the day sentinel surrenders to night's watchman,
an image
zigzags like a dragonfly
into her lilac limbo,
lilting like a spent bloom; such pointed petals
razor the mind's eye into seeing with clarity:
cusp of red, an edge of white
beacon in a bauble
of a bubble
scorching blue
searing and clear, this memory...
the ashen-black smudge of him:
a coward's swastika legs running away...
Rose-coral...pink salmon doilie...paper doilie delicately
~ crinkled at the edges ~
which are scalloped like a colossal seashell
floating
soothingly
on a burst
of cloud-cleaving sunrise
throning
