dusk
day starts anew
dusky girl
mirrored glass reflects
society’s ugly shrapnel
pierced that soft tender skin
soft from the light of the
radiant sun and salty sea
child of nature
universe in the mouth
hari hari hari
hari krishna
hari girl, green with envy
hurry, girl, the world will not
wait for you
you will not have endless
possibilities
but i am twilight colored
more complex than you could imagine
i am flushed, that hot red southern sun rising
i am bruised, purple and pained, striped through
i am rage, white hot fury as i warm the earth hour by
hour
you don’t realize
this celestial girl
is the creator, the maintainer,
and the great destroyer
dark dusk in the morning
bright, rich lapis afternoon
end, periwinkle, blinding molten gold.
