Blue Wonder

A ray
of light
illuminates
my raw past.

——

So soon, so soon
my silent dreams
fell from the
premature skies.

—–

Look at our transient reflections
filled with a million lies
staring at us
like stuffed animals.

—–

At last
an emptiness
filled by
rippling applause.

—–

This red fire
between my lips
breaking down airy atoms
into elemental energy.
