Lady In Waiting

Lady In Waiting
David J Walker 


A woman of common hope
Stuttered through stolen and broken
                 Scripture
An illustrator
 of common complaint 
More common in nuance of 
                 Failed restraint 
In the vaguest of hues
                 Of Aqua and blues

Her mother cried over her brother
Her mother lied concerning her father
Her mother died alone in aniline leather
A practiced Lady in Waiting
