The Kill by Kimberly Barepure-white swan
glittering upon irredescent waters
floats lazily as
hazy twilight
drops in and
languid violet settles
silver-moonlight-stream
drifts through the
swaying branches to create
an ebb and flow of shadow
a cresendo of crickets
keep tempo to the soothing
melody of katydids
sanctuary
broken
as crimson-tipped
dragon wings
blot out serenity
stricken
one sanguine feather
floats away 10/30/2003
