Patricia Carragon
Caution
Inspired by The Killers
birthday wishes died at midnight
when Cinderella ditched her prince
her blacktop beginnings saw tarot swords
march in threes eights nines & tens
by cathedral doors
cautionary tales took root
by the promenade
a song rallied for change
under mandatory incognito she fought for her sanity
threw caution west of the bay
as seagulls flew around her she raised her arms to the sun
lips in affirmation
found freedom when the mask behind her mask
lost its grip fell to the rocks below
