Myrtle

Spiny hurdle
Blue crepe myrtle
Contained and captured,
Grabbing girdle.

Existential
Elemental
Value judgement,
Consequential.

Royal flush
Crowded hush
Take your chances,
Picking’s lush.

Omnipresent
Opalescent
Hectoramous
Cry incessant

Wake up screaming,
Headlight’s beaming.
Took a wrong turn
In my dreaming.

Self confession.
What's the question?
Focus shifted,
Clear concession.

Sit here sobbing.
Write and robbing.
Blindly, mindly
Apple bobbing.
