While the sky held her hands
Her eyes as bold bells I heard
An ocean enough to drown deep to be found a herd.
While care is lost in the seas

Nothing feels their chill or heat
as their creators, creativity, and consequences.
Years and years, by their charm
See lips and tongues walk
in voice steps of their words
They perform what legs and feet

not wanting to lose another in case it’s important.
I am shoved back down this time hitting my head against the fountain.
Pitying myself and wondering what offense I made
