09-21 The Last Concert of Summer

the viola plays to the madness,
of rainbow flags on Broadway,
belting out show stopper,
after showstopper,
till the bathtub arena is plugged,
drowning, in it's artist's inked,
rendition of a castle forming Mary,
dancing in the sky,
roots forming, strangling her feet,
quickly into the woods,
dancing,
Mr. Behr, Mr. Snow, Mr. Sunshine,
she calls,
Mr. Behr, Mr Snow, Mr. Sunshine,
Mr. Valentine,
Leaf whispers to her ear,
paths and hands twisting,
her hair tightly into the night,
plunging the sky into stars,
screaming hands, palms, piercing,
flies the raven into a thousand butterflies,
blue fire and flame,
blue fire and flame-

lanterns hang aglow in the midnight of the tree,
Autumn arrives kissing her on the forehead,
the viola continues to play, snowflakes falling,
softly,
falling,
softly,
kiss the prince awake.
