frontage (Other) by xanthippe
a sandstorm dances through this little town
blinding my desperate attempts to find others
good thing i didn't build this place in sandstone
more: the blackest velvet lace robes cascading
covering failed attempt after failed attempt.
why am i racing towards a feigned completion?
greenest lush beauties are ever-growing
i ever-mending ever-watching, though
crushed under a fragile impatience
ready to have things proven to.
mirrors, all dusted and cracked now
after my haste to look higher past
throwing them underneath the rotting tree
that used to hold a you and me
way-beyond-realization-distant-past, us
not being interrupted by simple
continuity.
