About The News

this is the news they say
always proudly.
tune in.

but something in me 
has to say
this is not my news

mine is that one gold leaf
fell today in the forest
wounding a princess

or through a rose cathedral window
light was made happier.
the shade grew roots

branches, flowers
and children played.
silver apples

fell out of their dreams.
everything is not 
what it seems.

that's all i want to say
about the news.
