Creases Huitain
Infiltrated each other’s soul,
now we are a complete image;
Neither of us given control,
conduits for this right of passage;
Restless responds to a cajole,
yes we are mosaic pieces;
The vision makes sense as a whole,
seamlessly blended soft creases.

Almost Absent of Character Creases
Sometimes while laughing I wonder tis not
because it's not humor and I ask sought
I don't view it was meant for us to cry
maybe we wouldn't snicker either nigh
Perhaps the models spot something we don't
premature wrinkles isn't the truth tone
I rarely do smile when pictures are made
they are always forced and turned to a fade
Though with

Gooseberries and Sharp Creases
GOOSEBERRIES AND SHARP CREASES
The plumpest, juiciest, hairiest gooseberries
My grandfather grew in a circular bed,
Dead centre of the immaculate lawn.
And blackcurrants under netting,
And a Victoria plum tree in the far corner.

When I sat down, to avoid spoiling the creases.
And to touch the peak of my cap

Smile lines
And kiss filled fights;
Twinkling eyes,
You are my shooting star,
Tonight.

Moon grins.

Creases
I hadn't noticed them when she was well—
The deep creases in Mother's face.
Now as she lay dying, they told a tale
Of selfless service nothing could erase.
In one crease I saw myself at age four
Crying out at night for her wearied embrace.
My teen disrespect was there—and more.
Each crease disclosed another disgrace.
Affronts of all kinds were in

In Creases
I could feel my heart folding itself
like one of those kirigami stars
when you spoke so sweetly
My words became frantic, flitting about like fireflies
as they spat wishes upon the blank midnight sky
Perhaps I thought I could steal you from everyone,
press you like paper
in the creases of my dream
but darling, this exquisite moment
is starting to unfold
