Atop Strawberry Hill
LEELA SRIRAM
|
Wind-rinsed lips enclose
on soft red fruit, eyelashes falling to sweet-green grass with strawberry seeds. Yellow rocky ground, folded by autumn air, dehydrated, through time’s passage. Hands rifle through hay, dry and dusted. Fingers fall into butterfly sky, breaking through the fourth dimension. I was empty on Strawberry Hill, my mind, an empty saucer, with tea stains lining its rims and my soul, its wandering companion, a forgotten teacup. |
