*****************
star
ache
bloom dust
gold sheath sigh
blue dreams sway in dusk
mauve lily hums a revered calm
ruby-lotus aureole threads through memory's web
serendipitous harmony stirs up a mellifluous pot of hush catharsis
amethyst bloom shadows stipple the nighttime memorial, where the endless return breathing pirouette in surreptitious reflection.
stars—maculate, circumspect in their sepalled brilliance—frolicking beyond oncology, beyond every pernicious maelstrom, enticing sapient ache of longing with a wanton yet lucid aplomb that outlasts the night.
