Destiny

I dreamt you were meant

for Marble Halls,

crystal chandeliers’

candlelit glow.

Effervescence, incarnate,

silver voice ringing

through ceiling vaults, you were.

Or perhaps you were meant

for plaster and oak,

for terra cotta stone.

You dull descend into monotone,

waiting for peach blossoms,

a sinking feeling that

this was never

meant to be your life.

Stave off hunger, worry, rust.

Perhaps you were meant for dust.

--Alicia (2013)
