these beaded chandeliers
of a very hard
rain pop out the
twinkle of a color
from branches.
stolen from the riches
of a Queen, handed
back with both hands.
as threads stream
across a fetching
web...unburdened
by dreams as flies
nose in.
leaves are softening
their handprints from
a forgotten fall.
juice climbs a tree
with no sound on it.
no skeleton is craven
while held up to a
season.
