Shoe Box "Justice"

Road map laugh lines

Frame eyes of cornflower blue

As if the sky was your soul

And the world wide open for you.

What a cruelty, then,

That you sit, confined,

Your cell door locked

By the false words

That they pried from your lips.

Poisonous words,

Caustic people,

Who would put the heavens

In a box

On the shelf?

recently a close friend's husband committed suicide...his remains sit on her coffee table...ashes to ashes....he was put into a box in more ways than one...Anxiety overcame...and his heaven is not where she is...
