Hope Just Dangling
18" x 24"
acrylic / canvas
Her salty lips now speak his name aloud
to a picture in a pocket watch
while her mermaid's hair dries slowly
in the gloomy sunset.
And on the vinyl stool she finds herself
in sad cafe with heeled shoe dangling
off her foot ...like hope
just dangling.
She sits upon the mirthless rocks
sharp eyed gazing past point of land
and lighthouse blink
to where the unforgiving curve
shows sail-less on the skyline.
And in her hand a wooden stick
to stir her untouched coffee...
the ring on her finger a gift from him
out of sync... like a small lost dog.
A paper boat he made for her
floating near her green scaled skin
and looking up at the diner's clock
she sees that it is... timeless.
