in spring’s gusty williwaw,	
briefly turbulent
sun rays burn reluctant mists
into multicolored bow

To sit on a bench in the hall...

After Medusa washes her hair out well.
Too many eager snake eyes watching them.

A good chef has a bad taste
good to copy perfection, reluctant to paste

pierce translucent hearts apart;
rivulets of pain
await our healing love -- scared 
behind reluctant red doors

I will measure the mannerism,
Your prejudice, your reluctant mood

And moaning with each pound he spent...

Herding in reluctant words 
To make a poem

On horseback...
