Small bare feet, traffic
to a lonely cobblestone
road, kissed wet by rain ~
perfect for searching puddles
and catching her reflection.

Non-participant, chained to
fear ~ blue eyed simile of
innocence, shining beneath
unruly thatching

Umber smudge baby,
will she bare teeth? No, her lips
draw closed, the curtain

oh, this was difficult! but i gave it my best shot... :)

their teeth hide secrets
on their tongues, participants
to similes that
laugh behind closed curtains, like
traffic on cobblestone roads

they chain words and spill a muse
so umber in shades of earth
that they call on sky's smudges
to cloud-thatch their dreams

sigh them my love, and
you might hear their rain, full of
all those untold truths
