Reminder

Little white death laid on the table :
a pool of hushed silence.
Mother would not cry.

A mystic river flows in roaring heart
giving no relief to old wounds;
unbuttons the temper.

Purple eyes kill the black lashes.
Tears are filling the deep canyon.
A blue lake reflects the nervous face
walking on the edge.

The marbled plasma splits the crowd.
Another bell jar comes on for display;
the preserved heart, fingers and toes :
gives the birthday acknowledgments

for the sake of unrivalled life.
