She feels in italics and thinks in CAPITALS. ~Henry James

The bridge is collapsing,
chaos walking,
falling through the same cracks
again and again

 

She hangs
by stretched-out fingers,
reaching for love in a kaleidoscope
falling rain mocks perfection

 

His touch like fire,
chaos screaming
until she’s a ghost made of ashes
dangling from a broken cloud

 

And still she stands
in the storm,

 

no,
she is the storm,

 

head bent for the collision,
ready as she’ll ever be,
eyes like ice,
hair like ashes,
face like fire,
chaos dreaming
