Peripheral vision
leaks water
dripping all colors
from velvet red to
sapphire blue
Forming an overflowing
collage of misty secrets,
blurred opaque
photos.
Conjured spirits
strutt through hot
waterfalls
shattered glass;
a spread of lies filled
with tears of reply
seeping like poison
that shrieks in utter
desperation
Chrismal vapor
attenuates cryptic winds
in bottles forever inaccessible
sailing among
blockaded oceans
and
the innocent drops
of truth drown
