in spring rains bloom ☽⋅••
lost child's grave

Whose dark skin blessed
A distant southern clime

"I've never been so insulted!" The mage stamped velvet-slippered feet. "Total lack of respect. Who does he think he is?"

Vanities bonfire
Scrambling for wealth
Fools haughty bastion

Snake eyes dice roll
Their soul's last echo

I remember a church in the denomination I would leave--The bells of the church in Arkansas, the bright green lawn, the white of the walls beyond the gold cross which hung from the ceiling with taut wire. I sang with my friends “So My Sheep May Safely Graze,” our voices reverberating, mother on the second row where she always sat. You in your red velvet chair behind the pulpit. I knew where you keep a glass of water, on a shelf just below the Bible, a secret shelf. #taut #MastoPrompt
