Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.

Slid into heaven
Thanks to raven wings and bones
It is a dark room
Scattering of beads, thunder
I wake in the morn
poem written in Tanka form
Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.
