hazy veil of women three.

The future

no direction no goal no thought

became a hazy veil of women three

when I peered

through the haze of years ahead

I witnessed them laying in their own made bed

woman one

crying alone

for nobody cares for the careless

falling tears

touched the earth slowly

and quickly splintered into a zillion night stars

scattered

although she tried

her tears didn't gather

pathetic desperate scrambles

no reward - impeach - in vain

too many

too scattered

all pain

and she floated with the ground always just out of reach.

woman two cried alone

but her tears collected in a puddle of her own

her reflection warped and wobbled

but did not displease her

for she felt nothing

long ago dreams were set sailing

softly hiding in a gondola wailing

like John's Ophelia she kissed her finger prints and blew them away

woman three

wailed patiently

snatching at love when it burst through ice

crying tears through laughter

her choices are life's device

dreams wriggled in her pockets

in their turn she set them free

love squealed in painful delight

longed for sensations crashing foundries

lamentations bowl over boundaries

and fear underpins them all.
