Droughtful

Sky
you’ve been holding
on too long
pour it on, I need rain
for my droughtful mind
picking, poking
on myself
I’m all right
and so is he
I’m not a Buddha yet
look in the mirror
add crèam and color
to hell with it old gal—
let your wrinkles smile
let it go, let me be me
a blinkin’ wink
for a merry old sun
as clouds drift out of mind
a rainbow arcs
across a Monet sky
there’s more
to let out of this cage
the zebra goes first
then others follow—
some crawl, swim, some even fly
take a break for care
have some gingered tea
make non-sense
out of sense
let it go…
