Let's play
life is chripy like that
at 20 she is in this black suit and tie
but not all smiles
just all hades
Wearing this pretty purple dress

Pretty murmrs they  pour out of
this big whole in the front of
this pretty pale face that
holding them like a trapped bird; that
winged creature is the horned creature's grail
- un-at-tain-ed -
this mess when they try to guess
Life ain't the sunshine and the rainbows;

The roses and the flowers are up past that clouds
in the garden grows for those
that girl earned it
prayed for it
chants for it
to the white beneath the eyes and the winged creatures
And those rooted on those pictures
