further and further away from us
the thickness of his suit decreasing 
as his courageous kindness
floated on within his demise

STARS & STRIPES 
I know the Treasures held by the snow
I know pleasures unknown
And the measure of the shadows below.
They said Look what you've become.

Starlight slowly filling the sky.
Dark light as the moon sits on high.

Stillness as the dark plays with our minds.
Cool breeze invisible to our eyes.

Sounds carrying...

Patience and perseverance slowly wear...

I'm a dusky queen,

beauty surrounded 

my little soul...


Attention to my face

dusky face with white spots...


I thought I was ugly,

I stayed...

My brain planning the work list!

Must be there at half...

Ever die or fizzle out of this faze
No matter how hi I...

Boys

washing

cups and plates

from dawn to dusk

now sleep in moonlight

A handful of

twinkling stars

on grass

Softly the music plays
gently we will sway
Love is the plan
unfolding in our hands

We'll just take our time
add a little red wine

Three men were hanging 
On the balance of life

One man dreams on a full lunar eclipse
That a black door was about to close
And an orange...
