URBAN SURVIVAL
(a shadorma)

City life
for the country-raised
is made more
bearable
when surrounded by the green
of her potted plants.

PALETTE-ABLE LIFE

When
he feels
his world has
faded to black,
he reaches for his
palette and putting brush
in motion–warmth of yellow,
coolness of blue, passion of red,
green growth, and sacred purple–his world
comes back to life, one color at a time.

WISHING FOR WHIMSY
(a shadorma)

She pauses
with glass pressed to lips
while her world
is wrapped in
green. She wishes it were so,
even just one day.

tops and valleys…
I can’t really know one
without experiencing the
other.
