relentless upheaval
implode in a wheat field
absorbed into the sky
yellow tumultuous landscape
fierce in the contempt
restrain the birds
press hard and break wings
feathery-down graves
the sound of water
a beautiful voice
the stars are blind
grasp ribbon-tails
visitors need not attend
deliver the pleasure
in memory of
a smoky illusions
wafting in
a languid reverie
thrash about like pantomime
splayed about in an irreverent
manner, muttering fragments
beyond surface appearances
losing sleep over
tinges, pings, plucks, aches
brooding in dark corners
a preying mantis

There is a curving
artifice to the slanted
smile. A yearn runs
deep when momentum
strikes in opposite
directions. Discordant
notes play a thin
melody, reminders
of vanishing indigo
fantasies. Inside-out
exposure to find
tenderness lying
stripped clean.
These bites barely
show teeth. Discard
the skin.

Subtle Presence
The night trembles
shadows skitter
across the earth
Heaven is in the simple
things, wind caresses
naked branches
Empty space
creates lonely sounds
in paper-thin tissues
Subtle light and dark
morph grey
charcoal sketches
Lines weave and tangle
into blossom knots
creative nest
Seedlings tumble
and part the earth
in pin-prick slices
A catch in the night
air keeps
disintegration at bay.
