Erasing the bitterness, the tears
Embracing the miracle of...

I can’t see the muses,
Before they steal my heart.
There are simply no excuses,
For the wonder they impart.

I can’t see the wind,

Ready to quench our thirst, 
Why do ye hew out broken cisterns? 
Broken cisterns that burst;

Heaven Colors Life Pure and White

Winter colors have drifted white.
Twigs of ice sparkle crystal rains. 
Beauty beneath has frozen lights.

Generous gifts squelched hunger pains.

a unique line
tugging the brine

A hole left, blasted out by the others,

kept from collapsing with artificial tethers.

Hidden behind wrap,

taut to snap.
