eyelash fury wondering what has happened
seeking absolution
her dark nostrils flaring
raw pencil shaded face
artist holds her gently
balanced by flower pistons
teardrop pendant holds her place
madness or sensibleness?
the artist laughs at her risk-taking prowess
trying something new, enticing the masses
encouraging others to
live outside the lines

Sympathy
opens my heart
when sensibleness
warns me to keep it shut.
There's danger lurking
in your gaping mouth.
Sweet words soon turn sour.
I risk getting hurt,
sympathy driving me
to rescue, to fix
the underdog,
though I know
you want to be loved,
not pitied.
