watching for lions

( after classes on an iron bridge )

love, cassie.

(last year, i sent off a poetry collection, including "the secret wish". one poem was entitled something like "lanterns". last week i revisited the theme of saving-some-light-for-a-darker-world and the lantern symbol for my djing/creative workshop women reborn. and this resulted. somewhat meant to be read aloud, i must admit to sacrificing... something for the sake of better sort-of meter and for the little bit of rhyming. particular use of these words: abstract, luster (lusterless), gravity, stark, alien, mystify, vital, inelastic.)

( i believe that one day we'll need lanterns )

love, cassie.

(60 seconds, "four-line funny death poetry." challenge of sorts from angela. it only reveals i'm an idiot.)
