shrugs, “who knows why!?”
her lashes, feel the flecks, of mascara.
her skin itches at...

what happens 
when it comes to this

Underneath a Moonlit Sky

Underneath a moonlit sky
 Amid falling leaves
  Of salty foam fans
Celestial sisters
Point
To a guiding star
When a rudderless heart

mystery wets the blanket 
of sparkling air robed in yellow mist,
as wisps...

Of what mystery
bathes  a mantle
of  dazzling stars,
robed in golden beads
as wisps of feathers 
reel along a breeze
ordained to welcome
autumn’s descent;

November’s poise: 
gently, dusk changes
its skin to...
