Letting You Into My Real

Wall of vinyl

and metal
studs. 
Plaster formed
with the 
stripes of
flags of
white. 
The life
of the
girl running
for protection. 
Dusty sagebrush
of
years rolling
into the dry
desert. 
Authentic
strip down
of metal armor
letting in
the buds 
blossoming 
into 
black dahlia. 
Time and place
hold the 
gilded frame
of 
that day
I let you 
into my real.
