Framed

The flowers reek / sitting too long / in smelly stale water

The bishop bows / toward the heavens / awaiting inspired direction

The family laughs / at home & abroad / contagiously optimistic

Art delivers / visceral acrobatics / of the open soul

The girl plays / with wide-eyed boy / and visa versa

,forevermore

Words act like soldiers / conjuring emotions / whetting imagination
