Gray Feelings

 

An argument inside, a mirror with petals, what lurks behind eyes—craving essence, a slight haunt, feeding geese in dreams. 

More rain, deserts flooded, mongoose abandoned; a miracle needed, a scar deferred, if altruism would sing. 

It comes by a riddle, challenged when seen, no one measures another; it will be difficult, blame human nature, blame, in private, a few spirits.

We esteem concrete roses, to discuss harsher weather, unaware of future mistakes. Leaning into a conundrum, favored they seem, never quite with facts.

Jasper soil, muddy sunflowers, upon a gray thought. 

It will become what it’s destined to be. 

With no one laying claim to responsibility.
