a splash of joy shot
before me on the carpet.
rainbows from sun-kissed
crystals hanging in the window;
tiny arcs;
splotches
of brilliant colors
flashing, moving.
color smiles in
winking frequencies of light.
the periwinkle-lavender
hues my favorite,
but
the orange lights my fire.
the pink chose the middle
like a dot over an i;
an eye in the rainbow arc
like a spring bloom,
from a crystal in the window,
kissed by the sun.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

This is a lovely poem, Andrea! I love the photograph too. We hang crystals in our windows as well and we both love it when the colors dance about our room. Simple pleasures!
