Long Pekoe Poems

It's styles of a nameless brand pristine day
an exclusive star-sheathed shadow after 
overwhelming luminous glare fainted
a somewhat true-to-life footpath in

Encountering myself at a passionate spring
oozing its life gliding o'er its rocky...

laced with miniscule
cracks.  It has a glossy

Under willow trees and pleasant weather

Social graces with porcelain clean white faces
Sit, side by side, chaperoning quietly
While princess détente takes...
