In princess white, unfurled
to dance, the damsel,
seeing (oh!) so far as
the ambit of the newly earned spotlight.
Unaware of the vengeful darkness
where that light doesn’t fall.
So clustered by sooty impressions,
as with light dance the shadows,
she danced, celebrated, among
happy faces and masked faces,
supportive faces and delusive faces.

I remember talking to the trees.
An only child and back then,

A mesmerizing gang of banshees
illuminated the skyline
Each one showcasing a unique design
Indigo, platinum and silver
Interesting mix of colors
Seem outlandish yet sublime
A rushing sense of motivation
It had pierced my arteries
but I had felt no pain
Instead a tiny amount of energy
Was ingrained into
My mind
My heart
And my fingers

Winter sunlight is better than nothing
Like a cup of tea, weak and lukewarm
from its second steeping
