Bare Witness by Jaide Mckriel

Flowers sang like she used to

Melodies lapped up 

The sweetness of maple syrup

Golden-brown leaves twinkle

In the blink of an eye

Beholder blinded by the flashing light

A savoury love affair

Spotted in the courtyard 

A witness flees on the back of a flea

Lady transported back to her room

The green toad jumps from her throat

She croaks the unthinkable 

She has seen the unspeakable
