Geri

Ultimately, she will be served 
on her stained bed of silver, 
placed on the table of a rich man 
with an apple in her mouth 
forced into a glazed dress 
with her palms pointed to God. 

I have never quite been 

Just as confused

Than on that quiet and sad afternoon

As I lay on the ground

And watched joy abound

As the sun danced around with the moon

Although it was day
