Drupes

"Al rey se le pone la mesa, si quiere, come, y si no, lo deja."
~Spanish proverb

check out my altar draped in drupes
purple aglow
much like the April midnight desert sky
how many sighs and tears to seal the spell
and how many tiptoed steps to hell
I know but I won't tell
all the secrets are bubbling inside
a delicate spring
aching to be trampled
yes, I'm rumpled from the wasted effort
I turned and turned
and so I am salt
a blistering mine
it is dead
it is buried
but sometimes
it is true
they come back.
