Wild Poems
The following poems were published in the South Dakota Poetry Society publication "Pasque Petals"
Soft Poison
Your world is purple, heavy.
Sliding into black,
like watercolors made from plow dirt.
A swirling ink that
stains dandelions
and kernels still soft on the cob.
My world was yellow, light.
-Kia Adams
The Circle
Softness of decay
Stripped ash melts across the bank
The circle begins
-Kia Adams
Pond Ghosts
Frogs disappear, undetected
Like a swarm of shy ghosts slipping into another room
Their song, not fading
But breaking abruptly
As I pause ever so softly, ever so lightly
Like a stranger in someone else's house
-Kia Adams
