Carissa+DiPietro


 * Stolen Innocence**

There drowned, in melting flakes of snow Ashes of youth lie still And in the young, determined dawn Lights pulse and weave through. Dappled drabs of fetid darkness Stray shafts of sunlight bounce And surely through the marble words Nectar thoughts do pronounce. Cannon thumps and dusty deadlines Keep life from spilling over Swamps of pavement and rippled rocks Search for the abductor The innocence floats like prayers In a bell-clear morning And yet there, in the rubber heat The crow is drowned in sin.
