In glamor-light of sunset
a new crowd of cumulus clouds arrive
and revive a sepia sky-scene—
unworldly woolgatherers gather
spinning fantasy fluff into quixotic yarns
of debutantes dancing with honeymoon...

here I wait
for white magic reverie
to embrace me   free me

here I wait—
an hourglass full
of leopard-print thoughts 
sugar-granular-musings spill
the beginning to the end...

Waves ~

Waves
Glide in
On white wings,
Fleecy whitecaps
Flutter in rhythmic

swells over me in waves
massive, silent, overwhelming
melancholy ocean engulfing me

by which a summer wilts paternal dreams
and browns the loitered heaves of yellow spring:
