I paint the sky 
with colors this morning 
it’s a rose rouge
applied to an ashen
face meant to show 
innocence and charming chagrin 
dressed in blue lace 
with bright orange earrings 
which erupt when catching 
light and dark heavy 
shoes contradicting her youthful 
appearance and reminding us 
that this world is 
a matron and Ma’am
in whose arms we 
find peace and comfort
