A life stays stashed
A life stays stashed now upside down in filewhich lies supine on dusty shelves long lost
inside archival room beyond the stile.
Ink washed hibiscus in the mid air tost
standing somber against tatami mat
stay stranger specter staring at old ghost.
A white rose in full bloom had much long sat
upon the head of still contortionist
adorning her who's now but ancient bat.
She stays a stray display for hedonist
in pain yet luring of a sight her smile
stays black and white nightmare of exorcist:
A robust moment caught on page fragile
A life stays stashed now upside down in file.
