Tempest
A tissue of lies alights
dead and brown leaves scattering, coagulating and evaporating. The pine forest burns and culls a wanderer to the road. Trapped in a double life, standing on the edge of the past.
Anthropomorphism
Darkness dreams slowly as
she stands on the edge of space. Empty crossings in corners capture her in a constellation. She is stardust she is earth.
Fallacious Weather
Schizophrenic rain danced
violently across the medal roof Two lovers awakened in the tempest fury, souls revived A relationship ignited by a silver cloud twisted upside down Their last night phosphorescent sorrows howling whisperers of denial Crowning kisses bodies encased in a pharmaceutical straightjacket
Spatial
We confound
Paralyzed visions Beyond the rain. To your arms The traveler comes singing. Cries from A phonograph record, The dance of logic. Reflecting inward speech And shadows that Are perceived. Reality vexes the mind, behind the eyes. Adrift and detached on the road to nowhere.
My Daughters Window
For a moment
Frozen at the window A peaceful vision glorifies. The placid tree thrusts into Our luminous sky. Letting go in death |
