A window need not be a tender thing.
Clarity robs insignificance. Her peach and red Marbled purse is not a
backhoe. Not metal, nor straw A crow overhead without a 'caw.' Urban
instincts Shadow someone's well grained, hardwood floor.
In legend a pine knot speaks to inner-struggle Or an early morning
stomach ache. He painted A bright red "YES" on his son's bedroom floor
And ceiling. A good landlord does not permit Such alterations. A mural
of horror on an outer wall Its torch red, orange and white color
casually dismissed Painted over, by a new tenant, after forty years.
Whether one is young or old is beside the point.
What is blue inside a heartache is red on the bedroom doorknob.
If you cry all night and then some
Some will say, quite knowingly, it's a relief to the Gods.
What one really knows, one suspects, revolves Around the double-helix
(those diamond shapes, crisscrossed There on the red and blue vertical
diagram) And the gold and white, or the russet rich, red Iris Rising
there, multiple lipped, open and falling Upon the neighbor's wooden,
dark, loam filled bower.
