The rose of noon considers why her heart 
explodes with dreams on independence day 
despite established beauty of the truth 
contrived by ardent followers of light 
to blind her passion with fierce loyalty 
with eagerness to die in swirls of words. 

Beside the tall pink rosebay willowherbs 
that shimmer in back garden of her home, 
Gothina photographs the hummingbird 
that bears sweet messages of holy love 
from her guardian angel on the gold cloud 
too busy playing his harp when she gets killed. 

Strange alphabet of anguish without wings 
hobbles crippled down the broken sidewalk 
to sweltering kitchen of the restaurant 
where Gothina fries burgers and French fries 
for construction workers on their noon break 
though the meteor hurtles toward the Earth. 

Because her heart is hub of the whole world 
that spirals nonchalantly through the void, 
she measures sureness of the shadow mind 
that shrouds the land with faith discrepancy 
based on confusing blueprints of contempt 
that tumble forgotten in evening wind. 

Perpetual purpose of the broken word 
seems founded on the warp and weft of wisdom 
composing steel crane of his psychic faith 
designed for building towers of fake wealth 
trapped by intensity of scheduled love 
that shivers in the chamber of lost secrets. 

Yet when Gothina wanders in dark woods 
to find the fallen angel without wings, 
aggressive goblin wearing demon mask 
leaps from bright shadow of social respect 
in bold attempt to shock her soul awake, 
but she prefers to float in lake of dreams. 

Thus she awakes in body of her doll 
one thousand years before birth of her soul, 
so she wears flowing cape of honesty 
to wander blithely past the market stalls 
where hungry artists sell discarded dreams 
till the Wolf Man appears on horse of black flames. 

Since fame is based on modest artistry, 
earned through expression of dire prophecies, 
Gothina, bearing wand of Zamboral, 
parades on golden wagon of concern 
to celebrate with fireworks in the park 
fall of America on Tyrant Day.
