Excerpt
"...
Within the hour, the grasshopper’s worry had manifested.
The clouds had schemed to constitute their puzzle;
each took turns to obliterate the blue heavens.
The cooler breezes metamorphose the sultry air
into a cold turbulence.
By the time the storm surges, I had escaped into my house;
I tend my plants,
I water and prune.
The wind becomes sprinkles then heavy rain.
The deluge escalates until the fierce display
knocks over the landscape with gusts;
leaves, twigs, and bugs fly through the air.
Lightning and thunder discharge in and out of clouds
while the booms of sound ring my ears.
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
