At Cyndy's table

♠♠♠♠♠

Magenta, lemon, lime.
Plaid cotton drapes her table
in mad hues of rainbow sherbet.

Silk sunflowers beam in saffron,
sit silent in their vase.

All square and diagonal,
lines run to ends of table
and fall off edge,
proverbial end of world.

I sit where "there be dragons".
But without flames to torch
this pen to inspiration,
I write only to myself.

Yes, I am still alive.
Here, beyond your edge of map
and your knowledge of my world,
Here, within the reach of rainbow cotton,
I survive.
