Catherine Killeen Somple (707) 967-9229 Mentor on a Pedestal
Mentor
The falling shattersthe drums, guidingmy steps
The crumbling scattersmosaics of faithinto myth
Shock ripens anger toDisappointment, to painthen vacancy
The inevitable winteringof a liquid maplewhose fall
Flowering burns kaleidoscopeunable to sustainthe stature
Leaving featherless wingsto face the sullenof winter
Statues, like gods, are useless once fallen, deadheroes are seamless
