Today is a loss, loss of a smile,
Too many words on paper,
to say, then not.
This happens for us all.
No time on any clock hits right.
No bright star sits high.
Bread laden with dust.
Rose powder,
Green, gold, periwinkle, stale.
Decayed crumb.
Magpie steals from my mouth,
my last piece.
Of me. Then side_smiles.
