Kelly Zion Poems

Drops of blood
from a pale heart
'the blood is the life'
love keeps you alive
...

He thrashes in the shallows
trying to get free;
the tiger shark will starve
chased by his greed
...

Broken-hearted
bandits carted
everything
when it hit
...

Camera, come close
I want this to be remembered always
camera, zoom in
make sure to clean the lens off
...

Grape Popsicle Clouds
melt down over fields of snow.
'Isn't it beautiful? ' we say
from thousands of miles safely away.
...

'See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.'

We fight for freedom, we fight for justice
...

with the dog named, 'Bingo'
and the rooster on his shoulder
would let us com over
to give us chicken eggs.
...

I love to smell the snails
out by our little garden
and watch the raindrops settle
on the blackberries by the faucet.
...

You can feel them riding on your heels
but when you turn around
there's never anyone there.
Ghost-town stalkers.
...

As the rains of time wash the streets
where people used to dance
and all of time’s memories
go washing down the drain
...
