text from Beth Happiness in the poetry section
image from 14 STATIONS By David Michalek, discovered by Tim Samoff
final flow
ruby droplets kiss linoleum
drawing together
to make a pool of red
diamonds drop into the circle
dancing, swirling
bleeding a pinkish blur
the gem pool glows gaudy
glittering
in fluorescent light
dim shadows look on
laughing
in delight
darkness conquers
beauty flees
jewels waste
life ends its song
