Stiletto Meadow

At nine years old
The water ate my lungs
Turning me ice cold
In the year 1984  

With my mother’s heels on
Playing dress up
And hop scotch
Across the pond

Where the scent of
My ghost lives on
Gliding with the swans
I’m dead and gone

Butterfly broken wings
Reflect beside my
Fossilized teeth
Playing hide and seek

Sunflowers larger
Than the vintage sun
Gave rays of shade
To my antique bones

It’s now 2084
I’m dead and gone
But the scent of my
Ghost lives on

At Stiletto Meadow

Inside flowers that bloom
In butterfly cocoons
In shadows of the past
Alive in the grass

A hundred years have passed

Trying to reach you
From the other side
I see you watching casually
From across the way

I play hop scotch on lily pads
Darting across the pond
Wearing nothing but six inch heels
Made from red clover

Your stoic face lies
There are crinkled smiles
On the corner of your eyes
Cause you love me so

Sunflowers bloom larger
Than the florescence sun
Providing us shade
Where love’s not afraid

No rules to follow
You and I alone
Immortal

At Stiletto Meadow
