After the Storm

Paths become warped,
puddles muddy;
highway interchange branched,
dirt skirts scattered,
reflections clouded.
Angels slick the skies,
dirty your mind.

Footprint memories;
smile, sweep trudging.
Sunset drifting blurs;
storm liberation,
-seasons bequeath.

Held in passing;
pastel prism worlds,
single straight edges
loud and screaming
-unheard.

Places out of place;
frozen minds.
Forward, backwards indifference;
bombs drop,

stop it!

Nighttime imagination;
characters of hope,
roads rough to smooth marble,
squealing an eerie song.
Memories for today;
attitude out of sorrow.
