Somewhere, Under the Rainbow

The ghost of Judy Garland Is visible at night: Amphetamine-white phantom Floats through the moon-mist light. The Emerald City’s toppled, The yellow bricks are dust, And Dorothy’s dead in Kansas; Tin Woodman’s gone to rust. The ghost of Judy Garland is audible as well— New York, New York’s her kind of town— Manhattan-angel’s Hell.

You formed this beautifully and brought to mind a victorious, yet tragic icon. Love and hugs, Donna
