Long French Silk Stockinged legs all the way down to 
Lethal Six Inch stilettos...

As I was walking swiftly
Just to reach Bajoga early
To see what a hot birthday
Will be chucked in the day
Of 27th of the october,

despair hangs heavy

Transitions and Contrasts: Just like the Seasons
Scorching, sweltering, drying, draining
The Candle of the Sky, now a supernova
Chirping birds cry out for drops of draught,
The strays of streets too, dying or suffering.
The poor farmer’s heart, broken,

with tainted trinkets,
and feigned flowers,

Captures blues wrapped in a sax
