Aliens As Fallen Angels

This Love At First Sight

Leaves my jaws pretty tight
Lips tremble despite the confusion so slight

Halloween Bus Driver

We told her our school is unusual and she said that is fine.

Spring Has Changed
...Spring forms changed.
Jasmine limps.
Corn plaques shirred.
Shore is without breeze now.
I didn't grasp my own home!
Public blame current flow.
Pulse spurred over the dome.

Even though he was the only green-eye in the room.

There's no coming together face to face.
