"It's your turn..."

Resplendent

roach on a straight pin
stuck through a red paper plate
 gold leaf on its wings


    Education

          know the difference
          between knowledge and feelings
               minds cannot rule hearts

                         Obligation

         What else must I do
   remain blameless in your eyes?
          death waits for us both


                                                  A dirty book 
                                       
                    meant to be alone
             found in the park in wet grass
                   I breathe your secrets
