Elsa Jean Poetry

I led the conga as the clock notched 4.  
The gods and goddesses  
and gods in between  
rose for me, flew  
like hummingbirds  
flock around fountains as blue. 

I could breakdance like madness  
and everyone loved me. 

In every column, another script.  
On every portico, a face of reason.  
I was why the world existed.

Dawn came. Women left.  
The fruit around me gathered flies. 
The icing on a dirty fork  tasted sweet. 

Because today would be the same.
