Alizarin Nightmares
April has showered me in alizarin nightmares
a crescendo of voices that pummel me into blasphemy
wishing, waiting, wanting for my heart not to ache, not to break
holding, having, hoping that the May flowers to come are those of the open glade
rather than the poisons of hemlock and nightshade
