Deprived
Posted: October 6th, 2009, 12:36 am
In a room lit only
with candlelight,
cronewoman sits
cross legged,
in front
of a heater,
to meditate.
Her thoughts
ebb out
in protest,
like water
down a drain,
fizzling
into a whirring,
emptying
into a rivery hum,
disappearing
the dreams
that root her,
in folly
wally doodle.
After a few
false starts,
she takes off
flying.
Hot winds
rustle her
torn chiffon robe,
gray hair twirls
as she disappears,
enroute
to her prayers,
faintly audible,
getting louder
every second.
Two seconds
from gone for good,
she is deprived.
Like floodwater
she regurgitates back up the spout.
She opens her eyes languidly,
and farts.
