Rita's poetry in Images of Love

Mask

a house on the river
waves lap at the door
red grass smiles tall

sunrise brush-strokes paint purple
diamonds glitter
on noon’s proud chest
radiant peacocks open petals
winged dahlias in twilight bloom

earth bathes in a rain of stars
chirping birds perched on moon
rainbow across the night sky

all unseen, unheard,
beneath
the masked surface.
