Poem: Rainbows fall (part I)

Plunged into flashing
crayons race archways
lifting all of it
off of the earth

Steaming dozers
tear down mountains right beside you
and she’s screaming your name
“let me go”

Help me lift these clouds
with fire and color
each pink, blue and yellow
will represent smeared insanity

Take these pillars of marble
and devour them with the vultures
and golden horses

Unattended to for centuries
wild grapes entangle
the rainbow’s root

This is how
rainbows fall
for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

Chief Joseph - Nez Perce
