Shavings
The woman ran away with the Sun
to take pen to nature's silhouette;
Round out all the rough edges
file them down to couplets;
Lost letter shavings
that didn't fit;
Chugalug
Muse's

Soul Shavings
Remain silent until it's time
to love again
Finger touches and tongue tips
dance again
Rain drops coursing leaf veins
I want to stencil my name

while the dust
still believes
a glued amen

And with a goonish glare declared,

Rem Shavings
i awoke from my dream of wandering.
it was one in the morning. shaking my head,
i pulled back the covers and a light appeared.
a form took shape before my eyes; it was a
female, but she had no skin. behind her
was a set of silver butterfly wings.
gasping, i started to shiver in fright.
