Pirouetting Prussian Flakes
...Nestled with the glittering elements,
I ponder the immortality of the senses—
my lucidity twirls,

sapphire mist amidst cyanic windstorms,
drifting like arctic emb...

The Heart of Spring

Spring's heart slips through small winter cracks
Breaks through brumaled icy attacks
Coaxes snow and ice - melt away
Ignores icebound pleas to stay
Hoary whispers silenced ...

The bone structure is
Pushed to the ground
By his two skinny legs

Bedeviling the vernal places;
Un-men unto un-town's undead ends,
Under wrinks in mansworld's faces;

I Hear the Winter

in syllables bereft of breeze,
ethereal through silent trees
hypnotic in their leafless maim.
In sheerest blue of morning freeze
the shadows drape from rimy limb...
