Rosie
A medallion of silver
Broken reminder of past salutations
Dogs in winter coats
Believing in redemption
Will not help you now
The crows have arrived, and are relentless
Basking in the glory of irresponsibility
Fisherman look to the gray horizon
Shuddering as the waves approach
Rosie your the one
You wear my ring
Rosie
She awakens to a sigh
From the computer
Reminding her of her convictions
Teapot competes
Whistling beneath the audible spectrum
Warmth on a blistery morning
He has gone to the sea
Alone and afraid
A nation waits for the repression it has chosen
The catch will provide sustenance
As the school bus passes, the town awakens
As the powerful sharpen their rhetorical swords
Rosie
Steals the show
Runs far from the poets laments
Embrace in the evening
News of anger and terror
Turn out the lights.
