Yellow Pages

Telephone booth

Watches over

Yellow pages.

Stranger sighs!

Golden showers of flowers

I count not the tiny petals;

Suspended layers of yellow

Sunshine filtered and sparkled;

I call out to my admiring heart

“Step not on the fallen yellow;”

Layers spread by teasing wind

Laburnum trees blossom; and blossomed

memories from yellowing frames.

Flamboyance of flamingos

Marshy mangroves flaming red.

Vintage of red wine humbles

Loyalist wineglass blushes red.

She ran to fields, with no one to yield;

Sobs never heard, no one really cared.

Austere or auspicious? For sure, suspicious.

She dried and her rage died.

Conflicting thought, came to nought

Painting red, better than dread.

Red ink marks, menacing work

Leaving meandering, I write wondering …

Between the reeds and her deeds,

Lay a flower wreath; a fresh air breath.
