With Our Hands Reaching For The ShoreWith our hands reaching for the shore, we are ships,
Navigating waves of dreams and whispered hopes.

Facades Dying StarBird with feathers of fire, phoenix metronome,
bursts on the edges of the atmosphere.
Crumbling to dust, ash and powdery bones,
fore a chance never truly appears.
A velleity is made at her shooting tomb,

The Sunlit Eyes of LoveThe sunlit eyes of love, a golden dawn,
Awakening dreams like flowers on the lawn.

The Rising SunRising sun illuminates the sky
Clouds scatter by the way
As speeding truck then another
Erase the soft sounds of day
Song birds sing in the following quiet
The crows come to life again

Six Shots of Southern ComfortBonne nuit, numbers and digits
Did you miss hearing the drunk specter sing?
Back to waffle again about their trauma and joy

roads crack with shotgun thunder.

where topographies bring thought converge,
a hidden rose blooms,
