imaginary garden with real toads
Wednesday word challenge
the stars were edgy
they thrust their drumbeat
into the night sky
rapidly
with sharp finesse
like crickets
banging out a cryptic calypso
the moon was a souffle
she believed would
rise and follow
masters of her childhood universe
they had leverage on her soul
she was not so fancy now that she had climbed
in her fairy tale carriage
and stood on the precipice
now that she knew
childhoods can be broken
and crickets have a peppery bite
