Elise

Emulqtion of Nikki giovanni, Cotton candy on a Rainy Day.

I now sit lonesome 

in the red brick stairwell where our lips once met

Time after time,

Secrets slipping through our cigarette stained teeth

Little tiger lily

The morning air is quiet

Her long slender stem 

Softly bends and waves in the wind.

Bright and sweet

Her yellow petals flutter 

With the warm breeze of summer
