propensity

a slanting, shivering bullet -
husks stilled as it slices through air-
ignites eight pink embers 
and the spirit explodes.

 the trio is down to two.

tear, stitch, repeat
until the familiar 
resembles newness.

carnations spread over
granite steps mark the path
Marched by A few
while the road tread by many
lies well worn.

but to achieve sustainability, 
perhaps look elsewhere.

under the new façade
when words sound the same,
even the show, the flowers, 
cut deep.

and unmoving inside,
a restless playfulness,
the seed grows.
