Epic Poem #7

Princess Niñita

Walks toward the shadows

In which she believes life lies.

But she, innocent, a child

Naïve

as we all were,

sucked in by the absurdity of 

the importance of

money and

reputation

and the

casting off of

dandelions

as a ritual of new
beginning instead

of the death

of a child,

crying.
