Black SwanI saw you …

lost in yourself -
in movement …
your upper back split, low
and, I swear -
feathers … peeking …
tucked under your shoulder blades
splayed and black as black

France I
The emptiness is left with no resolve
for all the stars in Heaven have maligned.
Your God has let morality devolve

in the ether -
a roll of sea swells below,

dancing underneath "me" -
soft, yellow-blue...
