Star

Star

The tiniest of elements; our fusion is a must
To blaze across the empty space and illuminate the dust
Radiation beams
Winds of change unseen 
Mutations we can trust 

A giant and a dwarf, across the vast expanse 
We swirl around each other, a spatial growing dance
A billion lights
Infinity sights 
In just a brief romance 

To blaze away in infamy 
Forever and a day
A beacon in the darkness; I always lead the way.

Trust

The clear patina of corrosion
A signature required to reveal
The airtight seal, broken
Confused, this happened
Cuddled whispers 
Subconscious denial
Attach responsibility
Surprise 
Contort the truth
Align

Sting

Sting


Strolling along the sandy beach
The tide is far and away
I cannot glance into the sky, so blue and bright that day

Lit upon the grainy sands
Sucking from below
Quenching the tiniest of thirsts, just along the row

My sandals left behind
For a lovely natural abrasion
Callouses aside by a softer, watery fashion 

Camouflage and coloring 
While sipping sweet relief 
There is no buzzing from below, or as I place my feet

The sounds I make that crack the heat
While hopping all around 
Come forth from the tiniest of beasts, who simply defends its ground

Romani Flies

Clean and minty
Plump pink or receding
Capped, implanted, or real
A whistle through gaps
Metal brackets and stretchy rubber bands
Drool on a white cotton pillow case in the dead of night
Twitchy lies and storied gossip, save, 
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth.

Eleanor

Eleanor. Who was she? 
A spinster. Quiet, aloof, alone.
Well-known yet stealing away to the recesses of her singularity.
An old maid. 
One who navigates through the motions of life. 
Solace or sorrow who would know? 
Sung to the world yet unknown.

Imagine Me

Imagine Me 

Short and mousy
Glancing through a window 
The party is inside and yet standing on the outside
The soft face whom someone stops to ask directions 
But the wrinkled smile dismissed instead for the younger, trendy smirk 
Hiding in solitude to be neither, walking away from the window.

Know Me

The feelings of my attraction were so obtuse. 
I knew he wouldn’t pick me, indigent, without foundation.
How could I convince him he needed to know me? 
Any wrong move could be seen as egregious even if authentic.
It was a delicate matter. 
How could I approach? 
I would have to love from afar. 
Consecrate with faith.
Hope for someone to mediate our introduction and,
Pray for his awakening.

Halloween Moon

Halloween Moon 

Just one night. 
I get my way. 
It’s okay to wish ill of the living and ill of the dead.

I smile at the grey craters.
They beam back at me.
Then my ill conceived wishes are granted.

Three wishes allowed.
Each lasts the year.
Ill gotten means to ensure karma is secured.

First, to the dead.
I stare in the grave. 
An ill mannered soul suffers their regrets.

Second to the living.
I insist on pain.
A sweeping ill-fated failure because I hold a grudge. 

Third, to me.
Cold shadows surround. 
The gift of three more ill-wishes come the fullness again. 

I am nervous. The sky is full of bright, drab light.
It grows in size to envelop the space behind the dark trees.
I thank it for the illness and wait until it shrinks away.

Old Scribe

Old Scribe

Dry and pointed, it bleeds nothing. 
Scratch, scratch, scratch, it tears the paper.
Clang, it hits the bottom of the trash bin.
She frowns and retrieves it. 
Licks the end and dabs the well.
The knobby fingers gracefully draw it across the page. 
It bleeds freely in the eloquent strokes on the parchment.
