And tethered to a sign
Reminding peopl...

Discombobulation

the cardinal comes to rest
in a shower of white.

Though well you know it's there
Right now a guest unbidden
But like surrounding air
Not visible through eyesight

With lightning, thunder, summer's warm

Ode To a Perfect Catch
...To write! to truly write, to wield the pen
as but a mere extension of the mind.

in the whirling humanity,
with divided aims,
and sizzling brains,
she paused with singularity of purpose.
