The Floating Iris

The Floating Iris

A Poem by Crystal Antlers

She's like an accordion
Frightened smile
Broken eyes
In need of laughter 

She gambols in the falling leaves
As they silently brush there way through her soft hair
Twirling around in her patterned sweater
Feeling the wind through her finger tips
Tasting the everlasting beauty of the brisk air.

Then, as we sing in the garden
Gazing at the twilight 
Teeth filled with everything but sorrow
We sing out our fears
As we cavort and frolic through our lives
Through the falling trees
And through the broken and withered leaves
We step
