She was a reason

painting by Cesar Santos~The Mag

She was a reason

a sun peekaboo through the twigs

at morning,

when all

chickadees & magpies

flew to the market

at noon, -

a kefir

at the tongue/

fasting days,

trembling trees

from the open wide

window shutters

at 5 corners

with a bee

and apples rewards

at twilight...-

reminiscent view

from the distant age

through the shades

of maturity wisdom.

The colors,

palette

intervened

simultaneously

formed a white

solitude,

all ‘why’ and

prelude to excel

at boulevard

no-returning

to judge

clipped wings

and curfew,

nor occasional

meetings & dates,

lessons learned,

deeds postponed

for another path,

letters sent one way

home.

Mrs. Karma, elusive

folks looking for you

in recalled

Deja vu

blame

a just

aftermath.
