life threw me for a loop.

sometimes you have to squint to see the beauty in things.

sonnet.

untitled 2 [original]

angie morell

it floats through the air, an opus

a euphoric trip, Life depends on Life

the scratches, sound and breaks remind us

of when we were young, our words cut like

grass, while green, it held our heads up

the shades of sky will coat our eyes in

kaleidoscope shapes, all sin, no hate, what luck.

our freckles electrify fingers, face and skin

souls collide, fringe, knots up and gets stuck.

in the face of our Maker, we will grin

and shutter. the fact that we are above

hope, fear, tears with flags high and chins up

is laced with blasphemy; we are original sin,

so says letters signed, ‘with love’.
