_Tuft_

One day
 in the limbs of the sylvan sky confining my eyes a whole neoteric opera
house opened wide, to an endless rendition. The zephyr caressed as I strolled through
unseasoned land the bleating of lambs flowered a smile on my springful face the 
dew’s saliva all over my mouth bushed up my tiny frame. The blue witness showered
petals all over as I caved in your arms. The stream once loud is still just testifying
the blossomy lawn, turning grey. Your fingers trespass freeing my tress a throbbing
sound resonates, wallowing in the meadows a woman turned to clay co-mingled with
the earth. You held the tuft of my locks and hurriedly performed the funeral rites
of all the dreams… after all,

those were mine…
 not yours.
