The Finale

Sleep the dust, 
drunk; equalizing the forces 
of bluebells. 
I am not reaching anywhere.

The garden time 
was waning. And I have 
not tasted, yet, 
the brutal force of juvenile storm.

Who had cheated the blooms ?
Embers had faked the sun.
There were no clouds? 
in the eyes of the earth.

It was a holy  dance 
after a collective wake, for 
the ripped apart emotions. 
Moon was rising.
