Each night is a masterpiece of pain
that lingers in her broken heart
trying to find what was

she sips memories and lives
the curse of love in her co...

Driving alone in the Monts de Blond
...I drive alone down misty roads
where the morning’s frost still lingers
on the earth, grass, leaves unreached
by the feeble winter sun
whose fingers slowly withdraw
into the white blankness

Thresholds
...One last Carolina Wren
jabs and hops
inside a shrinking ring of pale sunlight.
At the white door of a cold season
the wind dresses a scarecrow
with the spiny feathers
of the already dead.

The tortoise is still on the road
