To a Soprano


she lives for her 19th nervous breakdown,
translating silence into song
for she’s a rainbow
in a sentimental sky
and I can’t say, “get off my cloud!”

just maybe, time is on my side

then, as tears go by
like wild horses on the prairie
an existence I dismiss
when I hear her long meandering tunes
outdoing my stories

and, I bang my head on her invisible gate
to scream, “Can’t you hear me knocking?”
