PASSION
by Rachel Fox
“Passion”
She skips through a patch of sunflowers
And gently brushes the petals through her pale fingers
The pleasant stench of her peach perfume lingers
As she tries to picture her hometown
And her prince charming standing prominently
Outside their palace
She wakes up from her perfect fantasy
To find herself parked outside of an old and run-down Petco
In the middle of Parkersburg, West Virginia
“Twinkle”
I stare up at the emotionless black void
A single orb of light twinkles in the distance
Suddenly millions on millions
One by one
Popping up all over the sky
What once was nothing has turned into something extraordinary
I gaze up and look around
The darkness is full of light
