She stood at the bow….
Eyes to the sea…
Her callous heart…
As frigid as could be.
Cold and obstructed…
The mephitic aroma…
Of her emotional melanoma…
pour into my spirit a sustenance
of purity and goodness of soul.
Far flung savageries had wrought…
The Little Maiden’s spirit…
Way more than it had ought…
Silly giggles of laughter…
I store upon my shelf….
stored within the box
are the flintlocks of my pain
put away from childhood
with prayers they would wane.
in parched deserts far ~
they bow their heads…
soldiers ever thankful ~
that they are fed.
color and creed ~
are absent there…
as brethern now ~
they kindly share.
