Maritza Torres Mar 2017
I am tangled
like
silver twine
wreathed
into the
mast of oak

I speak surrender
over
the crackle
of vinyl

*envelop me
Maritza Torres Mar 2017
Winter
gentle
shifts the
playful
scent of
violas over the
bitter
of burning
mesquite

I stand
on the ridge
of a canal
as the wavering wind
colors me blue
like the heavy azure
before a storm
ready
to lay waste
on me
Maritza Torres Mar 2017
our malleable beings
lay gentle asleep
as water pads upon
indigo springs of water
infinitum
rests slumberous
on our verdure palms

taken and torn
dreams lay waste
beneath pillows
stitched into slapdash costumes
too heavy to wear

diaphanous florets of dandelion
dance quiet
as vocal cataclysms awake
reverberate heavier
than summer air

trees
throne power aloft
with fervid strength
our alate souls rise

— The End —
