In a portrait of a nature scene
Lies prickly thorns and dark green leaves
Bushes of the holly evergreen
The lush green foliage in between
Where the flowers are full in bloom
That recluse under the starlit moon
But rise again mid afternoon
Ascending up, tried and true
 Dec 2020 South City Lady
SiouxF
Never settling,
A dainty butterfly
Flits from
flower to flower,
Imbibing fragrant nectar, while
Revealing moments of glory with a
Flash of its multicoloured wings,
In betwixt the dull brown underside
Reflecting life’s drudgery
And the yin and yang of existence.
Target on my back
Wishing my pockets
Were happy pharmacies
And not sad reminders
Of long expenditures
And indiscretions
At night
Here now
In debt
I'm in your sights
Madam Cashier
Take the first shot
Bill me later
We'll call it even
Equal compensation
Or a semblance thereof
I spent freely
Allow me please
To die the same way
