:T:h:e: n:e:w: t:i:m:e:s:

a brand new day

has arrived

in the hour

of man

like a jack

in the box

or a spook

in the loft

to rid man

of their burdens

by tipping

them over

just enough

to make

that mighty

cup

spill drops

of pain

and sorrow

unto sacred

grounds

where these awefully mysterious

flowers grow

in a splendid

sun

i once picked
such an beauty
and gave it a vase
to drink from
but it wanted
my tears

so i cried
almost every day
to feed my little
thirsty flower
tears of
joy and *dismay

*(this May)
