a daub by palette knif...

feathered …

moony beams daub your lips -
the irregularities

Revel In A Luscious Glimpse

...Deep blood red orange cloud’s,
ethereal dream float,
Satin wind carrier of luscious mint,
green hymnody’s deft transport,
Spring hues random loitering,
between gray peeled branches,

At the edge of one's own life?
Whence does it come, with those lovely pastel colours?
     Is it a heavenly art or a mere human illusion?

Plague

...beak
of the plague mask
    lest I smell

  flame your dead
