not so crazy anymore
a woman skis away from her life
Rated:
ASR
by
Avg Rating: (6)
she preferred skies painted pale green
harmonizing her orange ski suit portrait
surrounded by virginal white fields
she slides gracefully towards spiked iced tea
at the bandstand down in the winter-clad park
late or early, never mind, frozen drinks
never melt in disappointment or impatience
her father's pipe nestled in her pocket will warm
the blue-tinted liquid, sadness in snowman eyes
left over from terrible hospital exams...
now she claims her freedom and skis
towards death, moment in time, her choice


not so crazy anymore
