Wrapped In Stigma

The heritage 
went for a sale. A tree 
stands denuded, after 
a nudie.

An orange land hides 
the broken remains of terra 
cota. I wanted an earthen 
inkpot and a reed pen.

There was a wounded word 
on the tongue. A  
dragonfly leaves the voracious 
appetite and skims on milk.

Pulsating cleavage 
gets a prize. The salt lakes 
are full. A caged bird 
will not sing.
