if her words allign

Sharper than scissors,

she is a

crescendo.

a counterculture orange

in the apple tree.

These evenings spent

in inconsequential

extravagance.

Rarely lending

her mind to the masses,

Ashleigh has

a way of circling

the balance beam,

or speaking broadly

on the narrowest of topics.

She blooms beneath

the concrete literary types.

An abstract snowflake

by the heating vent.

Ashleigh is the queen

of November if her

words allign just so.
