Adieu - Part 1

Moments from perfection, skin glistening with moisture,
Salty and sweet from love - love so amazing
That it stunned us every time ...
Always better than before, and always...

of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,

that will not keep their order in...

An Oyster's Revenge
The Sun was acting rather strange
With the Moon and Stars concerned.
As it was not content to share the sky...
And not prepared to wait its turn.
So the sea was simmering and boiling hot
Without the night's return.

fast moving molecules of heat

Boiling all shades of yellow into

would warmly accompany within any outdoor sacred space,
are doing their best to...
