The carcasses
of pink camellia blossoms
litter the sidewalk,
a school of tropical fish
escaped from their captors' net
and gasping
for air.

I wait for them to rise
into the sky,
a flock of bright angels,
fins turned toward the clouds.

They will bloom again tomorrow,
this I know.

Whew. Almost 80 degrees here today in North Carolina. I don't trust it though. It snowed on Sunday so I'm very suspicious....

Written in part for #LiteratureKingdom's Spring Contest. Also composed for my 100 Poem Project.

I'd love to hear comments on this. It's a really short piece so I'm anxious that it have enough of a punch.

Is it WAY TOO WEIRD? Gods above, my mind finds some odd places to wander off to.
