yellow ran screaming from the room
where i sat
knees curled to my chest
frowning in pensive distaste.
the mirror held its ground
and i counted lines of worry and confusion
scurried past traces of a smile and a kiss
and focused on the ghost town
swimming in the deep end of my lashes.
green stood out; curious in the unexpected rain
and i broke stare with my own stubborn eyes
to follow the path of a single tear
as it hurried for the corner of my mouth.
the desire for a stalemate; mind checking body
left room for question
but you had just spared me the effort
with a dazzling performance of your own
and i could have pointed out
that badgering the witness would be futile
but you couldnt know that;
i avoid the headquarters of inquisition
like the plague.
jury's at it's end! they shrieked
they're going to kill the judge
but the judge was staunch and ignored every ploy
and the prosecutor pushed
steady and determined, all the buttons tried and true
til loyalties were divided and thought was lost at sea.
the hammer fell;
echoes ringing with my own words
and headlines harmonized victory and sweet defeat.
yellow seeped in; penitent with the morning sun
where i lay
knees curled to my chest
asleep.
where i sat
knees curled to my chest
frowning in pensive distaste.
