lady justice
in these dog days
she weaves raw cloth
refinishes vintage furniture
packs discards for charity
beneath the moon man's grin
she shouts no more war
whispers love words
sings show tunes LaLaLa
her scales bear out of season
oysters blue rose petals candied violets
whale oil rhinoceros horn gossip
murder ruination other atrocities
she preens before the mirror
her eyes pry through the glass
into the future from the past
for today
