A Downturn In Economic Indicators
The moon
is a bay leaf
folded among the trees.

It is not.

There is no time
to love one another, the days
smear like wet ink.

It is the time
of the wolf.

We must feed him....

pulsates in nonchalance 
as during a downturn
watching life unfold...

The Saddest Smile
I watched as reason
drained your face,
frowns cracked
to reveal a single tear
buried under the layers


I witnessed as the dye
dripped off the cuff
twin splashes of blue
scarred my cornea’s

drained from your mouth,
as its corners 
found the downturn


I cry as you dance
to nightshade,


always believing 
the rhythm
would bring you back


and smiling in Technicolour...
