Dahlias, kind
from sunnier times
before the dark shadows
of heartbreaking crimes—
when we were still three
and still thick as thieves
my beautiful
spiky-and-soft
family.

Golden orb,
heavy, shimmering
at the rim of the world,
bleeding amber and honey
into awestruck silence.
Shadow’s crowning glory,
unbearably light,
charcoal, bare,
reaching for
the holy flare:
#goal or transformation—
ending… or beginning?

But sometimes you really should pay attention to your gut feeling.
