Bamboo Leaves

Bamboo Leaves
by ESR


Bamboo leaves on the screen where the other
         versions of our lives unfold the letter 
		of the law a delicate silhouette

even as we watch word is play time for
	drinks the bitter elixir down town &
		country magazine spreads on the butter

like praise for the victory with her torch

light a fire the malingering workers
	of the world turning to the things we love
