/ guided reverie /

her leaves waves obediently
in the orchestrated draft,
responsibly quiet
conveniently poised..

withered
wrinkled,
shrunken by design.

these, her elements,
inherited the clouded relief
of being drenched in the gravity of shadows,

of bundled darkness,
cream of the ashes.

day and night,
rehearsing the reverie
of breathing into the thin light of dawn.
