When the crescent moon, five days toward full, had set

Time To Shower...When Pervasive Odor Of Ureic Acid

Doth strongly waft, sting,
and nauseate about me

bombarding cilia of
nasal passageway analogous

ear splitting xylophone,
also synonymous isolated like

At eventide,
Under the roseate glow
Of the receding evening sun
I sauntered down the road
To where my beloved dwell
Not far-off from my own abode

Fast by his threshold

A chair on a narrow, round island a tree takes up space water...

When she was reading a novel a moth fluttered around her head.

This season, her favorite season,
	Moth season.

the undertone, the whisper’s whisper:
	Moths. They like to...

you pull my heart strings as I walk away, inadvertently.
I know that I will fade from your conscious, forgotten inevitably.
But a piece of each fades with our friendship, traits become memory,

Although…

The most awful things happened on a dark and stormy evening,
foreshadowing the battle between good and bad-darkness and light.
Opaque clouds concealed the light as it escaped from the moon.
We were on our way to the...

We seek wakefulness,
What is Barbados to me?
Hot sun, hot rum,broad Rim hats and old khaki pants?
Robust men with warm undertone skin,

We seek constant reassurance from the one we love
That they...

Feel the rush of light, the sensations of grace

Melancholy me, since Kelly's gone away
Far beyond the sea, and out of every day
Stage by stage I've wept, but finally, I see
What I must accept; a melancholy me
