...A laugh
can be more terrifying 
than a roar or a scream
in the wrong light,
In the long night,
Lunatic giggles
Idiot he-haws
Obscene chuckles 
When the quiet hour, the full moon time,

Human Bloom

...a child collapsed cold in the garden 
talisman waved with the wind 
violently close to a pardoning-
hardening, molding the kin to her seam inter-winged 
horribly marbling volatile harmony

...Living in fear of trou-de-loup
Jittering teeth as terror unfurls
Fingers of mist become pea soup
Unfamiliar with alien world.

at many thousand miles air flow,

The earth is witted, breaking our spades
Tomorrow is stranded because today is wicked

The misdeeds of Covid 19,

Holding lit candle in mom's hand, 
Ease less standing by my side;
Ready to move to an unknown place,

Into great distance…
Little things
No longer distinguishable-
Those subtle differences

Anyway,
Could never paint,
Stubbornly refusing
The prime of my colors,
