Your Existence
cruel uninterrupted lines of rain
scorch and sear
disorder of direction attested
by a Starling's disorientated buoyant
flight upon dishevelled crosswinds
willows long decreed wallflowers
unrecognizable in their unforeseen
vivaciousness, unabashed orgy
not an utterance of weeping as
naked limbs dance
within this unforgiving storm - tulips -
gentle tenacity and beauty like no other
their resistance unwavering while
poorly rooted structures lay
something bare, caught sideways
in their lies
tempest lecturer expressie in her
presentation, one to adhere
dig deep, have confidence in your
existence
