In the Lace by A. Paige WhiteInto a morning
before the dawn slides tendrils of palest mauve
with entertwined puffs of cotton and jagged wrinkled spears of moisture pierce up
to speak to the sun
piercing the darkness
spidery lace listens for a time to glisten
and preying mantis in a half moon circle
in their stick world
seek to surround
already known
fairest warnings abound
For first was the sound
chiming and jingling
as angels bowed down
in their own fair winds
and blew a kiss in my face
Good Morning
What do you make of such a place?
Will you gaze at the mantis
or delight in the lace?
