Through The Looking Glass

Small pebbles crash through ashen skies,

So intricate and divine.

They pitter patter the pane.

Window pane;

Inner pain.

Cracked and spidering;

The sensation remains the same.

 

Snapping crisp twigs like heartstrings.

Plucking the chords on this beating violin,

A somber sound barrels around cathedral ceilings,

Dripping melodies in pools at the edges of cold lips.

 

Victorian grace with hippie peace.

What a hollow sound without the clash of chaos you bring.

Oil and water, emulsified.

Fire and ice, married.

Beautiful chaos, skyward bound.

Earth to ash, burried.

To Sue: much more than Grammy; my teacher, monk, guru, my DaVinci. I will treasure the gift of simply being known by you
