Snippets

I.
desert stillness shrouds
their adversary lairs
twilight's muted thunder
betrays the nearby
stealthy moon

II.
the chalky moon
creases midnight clouds
blue shades of lovers
walk a powdery sky
chortle at the other's close proximity

III.
pale gold ribbons
fiery soft skies
sea haze streaks 
a thin mountain path
as day begins

IV.
kitchen pans, pity, pungent cheese
and garden lace -- the matriarch
dripping decay with 
her mild gentility

V.
winter snow, ice
slow spring melt
rain-drowned torrent
ocean bound flow
placid river drift
debris of desire

VI.
drifting memories of lakes
water lapping against land
heartbeats floating on the breeze
the water reflects your face
look away
