before the new owners came to change the locks.
An assortment of items almost forgotten
now partly hidden under protective...

You and I

 In the breath of a lie
 In the space of a song

 Overturned and reversed

Ephemera
Small drops of cold rain gently grace her space
A wet water vain, running down her face

All things have a time when they have to leave,

Three Graces
Kissed by the rebel mouth of Dionysus

set tight against their fulsome lips;

lapped into shapes by intoxicant tongues,

arms fused in a chain of swaying hips.



Tiptoe this...

Midday sometimes in class instead of learning algebra
While she should be calculating and figuring a formula
Her mind wanders aboard a moonlit gondola
Serenaded by a musician...

As a lamb going for rather cutting, 
She was dragging him with a chain, 
Bitter than a gall and deeply suffering, 
His soul was lying...
