Kiss the Leopards


"Kiss the Leopards" 

Kiss the leopards
before dying
confiscate their spots
for memories
ever changing 
to place as stars 
stamped across a sky 
of evergreen

where hidden lions smile

writing out their scores
on blank canvas
clean sheets for clouds
waving sober dreams
turning pages dog-eared
notes marked in pens unclear
the eagle eyed watching 
sunflowers pressed in between

where azure bluebirds 
fly invisible, messages unseen

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)
