winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Prints
walking in the snow
grinning as you casually
step in my footprints
–
robin tracks-
early spring
snowfall
Experience
picking myself up
from all the times I’ve fallen
back in love with you
–
floating ice-
piling up
downstream
Kafkaesque
awake at first light
realizing far too late
I’m not who I thought
–
venus rising-
difficult memories
consigned to the fire
Potential
gilded double doors
open with empty promises
of false salvation
–
heavy leaden sky-
swollen riverbanks
poised to overflow
Water
tumbling down hill
chatting and laughing aloud
running to the sea
–
freshly frozen-
on the lake shore
crackled glass
Blank
staring deep into
an empty sheet of paper
conjuring the muse
–
winter’s canvas-
a palette of pine
and fresh snow
Promise
a new day dawning
stale vestiges of the past
left by the roadside
–
first light-
the morning star
through hollow trees
Humid
grey curls of wet smoke-
the kiss of embers linger
on her ruby lips
–
midnight sweat-
a lazy ceiling fan
stirs the air
