"Alone I Charge into the Evening Breeze". Villanelle inspired by Brownie
Alone I charge into the evening breeze,
like confetti against the lighted moon.
Floating high above the salt-fed seas,
Alone I charge into the evening breeze.
If this grey world lay itself to ruin,
and the children of David bend their knees,
I've no one left in which to please,
the sun and stars are my truest boon.
Floating high above the salt-fed seas,
the gilded stars are my trapeze.
Shadowed night is a bride and I the groom,
alone I charge into the evening breeze.
Floating high above salt-fed seas,
I'll find a cloud in which to squeeze.
I'll unleash the rain from it's drawing room,
to dampen the fire of lingual disease.
Yet until I fall once more toward to the womb,
alone I charge into the evening breeze,
floating high above salt-fed seas.
Alone I charge into the evening breeze,
like confetti against the lighted moon.
Floating high above the salt-fed seas,
Alone I charge into the evening breeze.
If this grey world lay itself to ruin,
and the children of David bend their knees,
I've no one left in which to please,
the sun and stars are my truest boon.
Floating high above the salt-fed seas,
the gilded stars are my trapeze.
Shadowed night is a bride and I the groom,
alone I charge into the evening breeze.
Floating high above salt-fed seas,
I'll find a cloud in which to squeeze.
I'll unleash the rain from it's drawing room,
to dampen the fire of lingual disease.
Yet until I fall once more toward to the womb,
alone I charge into the evening breeze,
floating high above salt-fed seas.
