Reading of
the inspiration:
Vali
Brother of demanding murdered Spring
Solely bred
for blood and revenge.
Poor mythic white boys
Killers all.
Did he ever wonder
What’s the point?
Dream of streaming gold laughing sunlit
Long for quiet
intertwined dark?
This isn’t love.
Why does wisdom
wait so long
so many years?
Such internal waste
amongst practical
invisible blossoms:
scented candles rich glowing welcome
toothbrush by the sink
strawberries in the oatmeal
vitamins carefully arranged
making a space
room to grow even greater
patient eyes — such patience!
Enough to shame a saint
anger met with heart-tearing peace
admiring hands and gentle tongue
delight in a smile.
How could you not
smile even more?
Loving an illusion
shreds
against reality’s
indifferent needles.
This tapestry new realized
not as glossy
tattered patchwork
undramatic
but
well-tempered.
