After sunrise, she cries…
for today
he
dies.
Her shaking,
paints ripples
on dimpled
skies
as her leaves
fall
like hummingbird stones
and the rivers weep
and the lizards hide
and the world
turns black
as ashes.
Together…they peel
like strips of bark,
like green winged hummingbird
drops of blood
who…impatient with death
rise, fly
tease
Gethsemane’s tomb…
singing “Ollie ollie oxen free,
you can’t catch
me,”
they wing
like skipping stones,
leap up
and over
garden walls…
Holding hands
Life and her King paint sparkles
on wide eyed rivers
as they pass by,
and watch
for dimpled baby lizards
who …
giggle,romp and wiggle
before the sun sets
in Eden.
Amazing Kae! The artwork is also tremendous. A tour de force!
