Complex Reflection

A gentle breeze
enters morning
in her complex
where pools are
gated and calm
crystal clear and
surprisingly shallow

ENTER MORNING


2 doctors leave
this complex
where sick people live
Rest, they say
We need rest.

EXIT MORNING

to quicken their step
she dives into
a shallow pool
her cry for help
drives away the doctors
they seek rest
from the complex
where sick people live

Where is the beauty in my words?
SHE ENTERS MOURNING
HER WORDS ARE DEAD

Her car hidden
behind a tree
Her favorite place
to park

Please don't ask if it's allowed to be there.
She wishes not to be moved

GOOD MORNING!
GOOD MOURNING!

HERE
they are tired
they want to take a break
from her complex
where pools are
gated and calm
crystal clear and
surprisingly shallow

HEAR
where sick people live
