Three Liners

1
by the river Seine
a girl of sixteen summers
opened her blue eyes

2
the tulip opened
to speak out love but the bee
carried the last dew

3
a wrinkle in time
puckered the curtain of her
certain diffidence

4
the distant thunder
to wake  the quick and the dead
smashed in the window
5
the sun cascaded 
over the back of egret
to give birth to dawn

6
nimble fingers curl
plaits of creepers wedded in
moonlit slumber dew

7
mittens of rabbits
galloped in yellow forest 
gamboling skippers

8
succubus laid eggs
hatched clone in gray and blue suits
on some other world
