Jaywalking

...This is when the old and the young,

velvet mites appear

blood-red carpets spread

Longer Night

...Darkness has bewitched light
To ride in the wheels of doom,
Fight blind it core sights.

Gripped progressions like tight brooms.

...“I am feeling it.” He said.
He meant his age, and as I watched
I saw a vision of him…
Ribs broke away
from the cuttlefish bone of his breast
opening outward in a rueful grin.
