Earning enough for her bread and butter

Her break in life came rather lat...

Amberina Ballerina

a mouse, this pulsing token ruled by unruly wants
at times given, traded or stolen - sometimes
thrown down on a dare to be won or lost 
till it became a pape...

  an orphan of my choice

And severed all my family ties
  in search of my own voice

I left without once looking back
  the present straight ahead

Wastrel Summer

...The cloying sangria
of freesias
invades the screen.
Amber bees whine
in wastrel air
like breezeless fans.
My shirt

I dangle one metronome leg
off the arm
of a wicker cha...

the world’s oldest reigning monarch
rarely gives interviews
personal feelings not know
her beliefs fundamental importance
well known for her dry witticism

Grimoire gondolas steal unbound human yawns,
Each Charon poised with sallow spear along the River:

I am not yours to pawn, as a wast...

When I Write You a Letter

...When I write you a letter, you had better reply!
All the time it eats up isn't easy to come by.

Approximation

...I’ve ever minded to live or to die,
Always striving life and eluding death;
There’s no end to live or be dead.
