winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
White
slices of the moon
slivered through the window blinds
drape across your back
–
snowy owl-
cold branches
in the dead of night
Seasons
a stash of acorns
squirreled away for safekeeping
in a hollow tree
–
bird feeder-
spring daffodils
seek the sun
Sleep
your door left open-
looking back at you as I
close it behind me
–
moonlight-
your mobile
slowly winds down
Misdirection
a silver quarter
rolling between my fingers-
practice makes perfect
–
trafalgar square-
the red queen
hiding
Conflict
these nameless corpses
stacked upon one another
bear witness to war
–
cobalt sky-
birds nest in
the shattered roof
Darkness
offer me darkness
and take me to the places
I would never go
–
gnarled trees-
green eyes glow
in the shadows
Cowgirl
sawdust on the floor-
the earthy aroma of
horse manure and hay
–
a saddle blanket-
riding bareback
in the tall grass
Beach
seagulls hovering
wings outstretched and motionless
faced into the wind
–
sunrise-
beach sand in her
wind blown hair
White
