Aftermath
after Schubert’s Minuet in A Minor
Peace has maintained
You— someone so special
other-worldly, complacently
living out of a hope
You’ve endured many ordeals
for wearing off your devils
by the sitting bone
at dawn
de-franchising the blood cells
from slapping pains.
You’ve found joy
releasing want on earth
from your much-earned matriarch
fracturing bones
of eternal hooks
After a sage opens her window
a butterfly leaves her cocoon
outside limbo
She has obtained
the light of the high-light
