Peacock Achievements
September 11, 2010
I urge you to allow me
to make ripples
and to allow me to be
outwardly flippant.
to embellish my flesh;
to face dawn with regret;
to wish I'd only drunk but a tipple.
to achieve a peacock's achievement - for I've sprayed nothing but colour -
I'd aspired to make so many ripples
yet now my life is another's.
