Saturday, September 23, 2023

Ah... tis nothing more heavenly

then a spring like January 18th, 2023
here at Highland Manor apartments

It is an unseasonable March day.
My kitchen blinds are drawn against morning sun,
their slender slats like new skin protecting the body's vital organs;
eyelids before this rose-covered tablecloth as though the blooms
are the pale larvae of...

WATER DOWN LEAVES

Water down leaves with Autumn’s spirited cold,
Until hands shiver, and lips are glossed a balmy-blue ~
Where every oak and maple leaf turns conspicuously old.
