SONGS & DREAMS
about
PAIN

by Jeffrey Murrell

ZETA


Zeta.
Lost child.
Bright face
In the crowd!

Giddy,
Big town.
The rain;
Cool shroud.

Station;
One sound;
A train
Inbound.

Can't hold on to forever!
Insipid minds stand together.
It's just a time for this child
To slow down from being wild!

Better
For a while.
Disgrace
In style.

Sultry,
In time.
Forever
Is a lie.

Zeta,
Don't frown!
Remember,
You're a clown!

Gold and bright was the vision.
Pungent green is the smell.
Broken lines in charcoal;
Brave red lips paint a smile.
