SoulFlowers

The sun burns the Earth and souls spring like daisies.

Sitting in this circle of grass

My feelings like the wind

Strong and violent and unseen

Raking through me, my hair and down

My throat, I heave and look

The sun

It burns the Earth and the souls spring

Like daisies

black and white flowers

Roses and fuzzy things

Dandelions, I pick one

Just one, between shaking pale fingers

And soft pink nails and chewed cuticles

I twirl it

There is a name engraved on its bone stem

Cursive and neatly there

It reads -----

I crush it.

 

I stand to the rising winds and burning heat

Sun so bright and white

Raise my hands to the sky and beg for salvation

So many black souls and so little white

The purity in this world turned ugly by truth

And what hides beneath the dirt.

 

I walk, so far my legs give out

And my knees bend and smash into muddy dirt

It rains

The wind howls and I breathe

So much emotion

So much rain

Miles upon miles of black souls I have walked and

Found so few white

Only a few, people I already knew

But nothing new.

I fall forward plant my fists in the Earth

Between clutches of decaying grass and

Starved bone stems

Gray

White and black but so beautiful

A change in the Earth

One needed

Silken petals and fragranced so sweetly

I kiss the grayness, shattered black and white

And when the rain stops and wind picks up

Again, I tug the flower soul from the Earth

And offer it to the sun

And the Earth turns white

With one lonely gray soul

Beautiful in it's broken and silken despair.
