Doubt

The View

I'm sitting here
Admiring the view
Thankful for it's beauty
It's comfort
It's familiarity.

I've been here before

Deep breath in
Contented smile
Snapshot made
The scene is owned


Then the eyes open

Some Cannot Praise the Wind

There are three of them, Cinderella siblings:
shapely, deciduous, their leafy green
darkness undulating in the specter wind,

Don't stop!" say the sisters, moving...

We All Float

In the tenebrous, xenial realm of the lake, where human cadavers oscillate, suspended by verdigris chains, a lamia of unholy provenance, orchestrates a gambits cavalcade.
