(16 × 16 × 1.5” Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas)
one day
roses will grow from
the lion’s breath
the wolves will stop
singing sad songs
to the moon
ONE DAY
ONE DAY
tears will dry up
wildflowers will
bloom from salt water instead
this cruelty will end
even death will
slip away into the
next room to
close its eyes
& become a
memory
ONE DAY
