winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Waiting
staring at the floor
scuffed and worn beneath my seat
from those in my shoes
–
dawn breaks-
outside the
waiting room
Shadows
a quick glimpse into
the recesses of my soul
is all I can bear
–
sinister clouds-
reflections of
black water
Whisper
elusive silence-
a old game of whispers played
within my own head
–
before dawn-
the wind talking
with the leaves
Courtship
now all that remains-
the sweet taste of success and
your cherry lip gloss
–
fresh cut grass-
an old blanket and
poetry
Swells
waves rise up and fall
the rhythm of the ocean
moves us together
–
surfing-
the swell
of your hips
Haze
families asunder-
buzzards circling high above
the southwest desert
–
riding the smoke-
wild horses
in the distance
Corruption
doe-eyed sycophants-
suckling at the teat of
this festering pig
–
overcast-
the lack of sunlight
goes unnoticed
Danger
lying in my bed
beautiful and poisonous
twisted in the sheets
–
african sun-
death lurks
in the tall grass
Waiting
staring at the floor
