Coming Out

Fluttering Blue Banners
Pink & White long behind
Hidden under the tiles, an adder
Teeth sharp as rock we’ll surely find

Large smiles and new energy
So young blooms breathe fresh air
Into lungs defeated by entropy
Feeding grins once diminished by a glare

How music lulls us sweetly 
In morning, in night, in rest
How the poisons kill deftly
And we ignore symptoms for the fest

Celebrate for new breath
Defeated by broken lungs
Turn away from threats of death
Her beauty never hears their tongues

They’ll surely kill us all
Or make the rest unending pain
But spring will be loved in place of fall
And if in Her stormy skies, we will reign
