On Sane Restoring

by Kimberly Zittel

Fall down lines
Overcoat honey drips, slips
Among dried flowers
Hung around imprinted insignia
Beneath glass quoting professional
Prowess

Enchant, entice from my pocket
-healing wounded hearts simply
with open ear, past
adventures sear, Spirit-filled
breath exhaled above flickering candle
oozing, ripe with life

the New emerged
-dry, flaky cocoon
carried off crumpled
with arctic front swoon
landing, matted camel-hair grass
peeking through
cement cracks at your door

only You may behold the
difference in Candor

Eye shall thank you, Mighty Seine, for
Catching me in your net
-guide towards life's
stability without regret
