Dusty chalked,

splayed filet,

forewarned to focus in-
and then die to grin....

A child’s scarf lies abandoned in the street.
Through splayed fingers over face,
startled innocent eyes....

Happiness
The brooding bird
trusts me
splayed on the grass
she's not brooding
at all
just happy absorbing
the sun's rays....

Quietly ... Breathing
Turn down the insanity
and
  take my hand
fingers splayed
in
  hopeful return
of
secrets half known
  of you
wished fully by me...

Morning's peaceful rise
subdues low hanging clouds of gray
burning soft from view
a warm splayed light is night's demise

ivory feathers
   splayed upon the bones of fall-
             autumn requiem
  spring's phoenix, birthed of frost
       flairs it’s ice shorn wings...

Dinosaur-bird bones:

Dark, cracked stone wings splayed in flight;

ground to a halt, still;

victims of cruel, heedless time;

cautionary timelessness....

walls crawling 
inside out 
Escher etching
fingernail grout
staring at stares
plaid throughout 
plied and played
guts splayed out 

wailing away 
in bars in stout...

Prey/ Preys
Below:
Vertiginous
fish, foraging for flies
that hover above the water
level.

Above:
An eager eye
calculating, swooping
down with deadly talons splayed for
killing....

Premium Member Silence
The wrinkles of the rug cast sunlight on a pug
Who splayed out her hind legs backwards

And as I left, I looked back and paused
As her face fell silently
Onto 
her paws.

Where the Grickle Grass Grows
Troubled friend, your heart
    displayed
unforgiving blade before me
    splayed
your blood
    it pools in love
    betrayed
forever young
    your debts prepaid

Ash
Your eyes once struck like lightning
Down winded limbs
Splayed out 
And sparkling
From just a flash

Now you look like charcoal bones
And boiled veins
And lungs
Of skin
That's burned to ash...

Tree
roots 
    gone prodigal
  
    an astray
    penetrating
    the laterite
    beneath

    while a bleat
    splayed on an altar
  
     where a bare oak
     nailed to the sky
     sheds blood and water...

Atrium
This
Ornate
Fine silver
Gathering dust.
Hands splayed, overlaid
With golden promises
Caught in persuading rings.
Blood diamond among crystals,
Unsullied with obligations and
Laying in your four chambered treasure chest...

Which Doctor
Reciting prayers,
Body splayed across the floor,
Reaching for heaven.

Knees gnarled and bent,
Mouth calloused from oration,
Hands clasped tightly shut.

Passionless faith is,
Just ceaseless recitation,
Magic doomed to fade....

Mini Tree
Pop out one stands more than another
mini planet on center-tree
rapped bark out
and splayed with knotty nuisances
falling arms raising drops of 
golden brown if lucky
green if true
and if I, alive in breathing
share this experience may....

Dead End Plight
Dead end plight

Nothing of anything is nowhere in sight
Emptiness funnels from days into nights
Change is frozen, darkness fragments the light
Limbs are splayed and bound too tight
Senses are closed, only time is left to fight
