Pennies/Buttons

7/24/2002

Pennies for your eyes

Buttons for your soul

See the brightest diamond

Transformed back to coal

Sew up the garment

Repair the rent

Landlord asks me

Time now to repent?

Turning eyes

Missing the mark

Up in the skies

Painted rainbow’s arc

Professions of possession

Of have not and confession

Prequel of calm

Like Joan of Arc

One feels the pain

Initial spark, then the balm

-Frank Attanasia
