she washed herself from a watered pail,
she claimed their lies and vicious tales,
she pled not guilty and moaned...

busy under cover of autumn leaves 
turning burnished topaz gold 
idling unrushed roll over

Cessation

O to be the humble horizon
that slumbers in restlessness,
I grieve not for the magnolias
that withered amidst
cruel claws of chaotic cravings.
I weep for the serene 
   wildflower whispers
that once upon a blood moon
were lost...

It Was Too Late

She thought of all the times,
She ran around with friends,
Running round the house in pajamas,
Wishing the fun would never end,

In Marked Territory

I surf through the crooning crests

carved in topaz and turquoise,
for I am the goddess
of the bittersweet estuary,
crowned with foamy salt and sea glass,
intoxicated by inked
sapphires and solitude.
This quill longs...

Waterfall Chandeliers

 Listen to the

Stepping Downwards

Birds chirping roughly on an avocado tree
I curiously look upwards to see what could that noise be? 
Is it a sparrow or a mockingbird? 
It's plump and it has all shades of brown

I'm stepping upwards next to...

Einstein's Waves

like a grass harp ruffling across the great plains,
