 ethnicities
On lurid quests--
A pendulum of tantric turmoil and
Blessed harmony

Quixotic city--brash,
Sangfroid merotomized and
Chrematistic--metro nonpareil.

Your collective name is an array or prickle – how apt!

a jet stream of sorrow,

Lurks a prickly spiky tuft
Shuffling and snuffling too
Seeking worms on which to chew

moonbeams dancing
clouds conducting rhythm
hedgehogs snuffling worms

seagulls tap  dancing
worms for breakfast

penguins flying over Wales
April fool

He’s inside my head
I shouldn’t be working

A mother’s gift that’s left
Upon her infants milky breath, laying
Cradled in rest upon her breast with

Besotted silence popping little hiccups til

dreaming of antelopes on the hot savanna plain

Elephants ponderously...

Snuffling for truffles
Scenting morsels of delight
Delirious swine

Drowning in the oyster beds
Drunk on mysterious wine

A brine-eyed dog struts through my yard
Snuffling the pavement cracks
Its partner circles under guard
Behind its owners' absent backs

Night creature
Forsaken
Slithering
Unperceived
Charging through
Machinelike
Stealth engine
Frozen breath

Aging maple leaves curl like rumpled rugs,
Falling as stars amidst disrobing trees
Shivering in the face of hoar frost...
