dove of peace in pieces
stirring the pot
on a southbound train

never follow the crowd

decisions made upon
one flame perspective
of ashes and history

time measured
bridges burned

mental health magic child
trouble in his busted bones

spitting image memory
state of grace dream
perpetually lost
found again

some act a role
others play a part
all running scenes

and the show must go on
