winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Troublefree
The sun sinking low
With only a few breaths left
I’m not wasting them
–
midnight-
skinny dipping
without a care
Youth
staring at myself
the mirror reflecting my
wasted innocence
–
shoeless-
a ragged doll
on dusty road
Daydream
lighted by the sun
her spectral visage hanging
in the morning sky
–
slanted light-
the virgin sun
greets the moon
Dust
a banging screen door
the ghosts of conversations
echo in the wind
–
merciless sun –
the empty ring
of wind chimes
Lost
every nerve exposed-
in the comfort of her mind
she shuts out the world
–
long afternoon shadows-
an old rocking horse
threadbare and faded
Destination
leave this all behind
take my hand and run with me
into the new dawn
–
sunrise-
wind blown leaves
cross my path
Tracks
walking in the tide
my temporary footprints
too soon forgotten
–
gentle flurries-
fresh tracks lead
to the birdbath
Passing
whole conversations
pass with just a knowing glance
incomplete silence
–
a heartbeat-
one moment
our lifetime
