winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Communion
iPhone vibrating
mocking my attempt to be
at one with nature
–
meditation
water threading
between my toes
Luna
in the full moon’s light
a desert scorpion glows
an unearthly blue
–
silver
illumination
of midnight
Deluge
a flash of lighting
tears the fabric of the night
letting in the rain
–
wet brilliance
slicing through
shadows
Detritus
I drag my feet through
the dust of relationships
that I’ve left behind
–
shuffling
forward into
an empty future
Expiration
a dying ember
brightened by love’s final breath
at last extinguished
–
autumn
the last robin
falls silent
Bloom
a silken rose bud
opens with just a whisper
but only for me
–
red velvet and lemon
delicate blossoms
gently unfurl
Decisions
deeply search your soul
and when the darkness calls you
choose not to answer
–
evil
waits for an
eager listener
Walking
a trail of bent grass
left behind by my roaming
for you to follow
–
newly fallen snow
you’re walking
in my footsteps
