tattles the tree, in an excited a...

Wanted nothing more

Silenced your weapon

...The city’s streaming lights are 
                                                 incandescent veins,

they need concentration.

We did a lot of fun things together

My eyes were always pained

...I WISH I WEREN’T A FROG

...she got on about three stops after I did 
I was sure she was conversant in ballet 
by the way she danced up the steps 
and delicately deposited her passage 
into the device next to the driver

reddish green and the wick crackled 

Cassiopeia together

The Foyer of the Heart

...The Foyer Of The Heart


In the center there’s
a hollow

small, enclosed,
oval like a locket

called the foyer

That shudders a intent, until

reverberating drum rolls kaleidoscopically spinning

Unbidden and driven by emotions chained in dungeons deep and wide
Bursting free from no sensation  breaking into concentration
