The Air WaltzesThe air waltzes with your echo,
it’s a rhythm play, pause, repeat;

Before January Comeshaiku/ triolet/ tanka
bare are trees’ branches
except for random pine trees
wearing Christmas lights
Fun holidays that I adore -
so swiftly do they slip away
and always leave me wanting more.

CavalierBiting back my moans will draw blood,
