Changes
         Prompt 3 -Week 1 Sad Moments in Life
                             33 lines, 164 words

Changes stumble into lives,
plot twists, all.
One day you snooze in a castle
but in a cardboard box, next
where you read on the crumbled Times
about polar bears, homeless, too,
and species becoming extinct,
like yours, and you view
myriad pains spiked with snake juice
on human skin, pooling
over scar tissue.

Changes stumble into lives,
plot twists, all.
One day, nothing is there
to shrink from, but next,
you fear the betrayal bomb
akin to grief without tears
that you nurture as if nightshades
behind cloistered walls
hiding the holes in your heart
where kids used to romp
before they flew off the coup.

Changes stumble into lives,
plot twists, all.
One day, in a field of desire
you wander, but next
you lose the risen moon
and throb in shadows
and you weep over mounds of earth
while the head of a storm lurks
at your edges, and you lock away
your moments, to wait for changes
plot twists, all.
