Poem

Silvers strands line her hair like salt in an aquamarine ocean

Wrinkles shine in ripples on the quiet foreshore of hindsight

	She dyed her hair blue today because she can

The engine still roars when she puts her walking stick aside

Mounts the quad bike and sails through the isles in the shop

	A keeper of memories she sounds out her youth

Joints crackle the tune while she dances in rhythm and rhyme

Sings aloud from a mind set alight to a chorus of an angel

	She never consulted for divine intervention

Close to the checkout the tattoo on her belly wriggles and chimes

A lip ring as long as a tear drop from heaven tickles her fancy

	Firmly lodged in faith compassion and love

At the exit a watchman guards safe passage and kindness

And wonders what pills she is on to proceed with such joy

	An unredeemable survivor of a rebellious soul

They call her a basket case but her crazy insanity keeps her together

Purple mascara and face paint are waiting for a final farewell

	Just for today she will colour the shadows of her rainbow
