10 WORD POEMS: Waterlterra #1

it was a lilac
                but chilly confused it
a gasp,     a hope plundered
       ficus' insomnia, blown, tilt now
this intimate carnage

----

children gasp:
         ficus blown.  Tilt now.
Lilac in chilly insomnia.
        Plundered hope by confused,
intimate carnage.

----
it was a chilly carnage as we
watched the children confused, hacking
the lilac away.  We pray to ficus
and insomnia w/ the same breath.
We hope the gods will tilt towards us
and plunder our gasps from our guts.
intimacy is a blown glass we pass around,
                     and fondle.
