Pieris
The color yellow looks different when I look through your eyes,
As if the fields are made of emeralds decorated in butterflies,
And then I see pollen fly and descend to the wind’s singing
And embed themselves into beds’ sheets’ linen.
The coursing of dance mimics a river current
And I involuntarily admire your freckles and the rose of your cheeks like they’re sunbu...

You Will Never Know
Ones that could not possibly be answered?
The assurance of peace,
Robbed.
I suppose now I must find solace in the unknown,
That perhaps ignorance could be my silver lining.
It is not.
Nightmares take shape from loose ends,
The brain defaults to fear when it must assume.
Fear circumvents my ambition,
How can I continue,
When I will never know?
My focus limited due...

Young Family In The Sunshine
Over by the river, a young family
painted by the sunshine
So comfortable in their skin

Life seems simple, warm
they wear their love
like a tattoo
Working together
to overcome the daily challenges

A rush hour slow-slog through thin and sickly dawn.
Idiot-bright festive lights fail to sense the mood.
Mother in the back seat – quiet, watching, alone.
A red light river – a sto...

How It Should Bee...
Ssssh
Listen…
Modern world blocking the transmission?
Too much traffic?
A world too erratic
Does the whispering grass
still play a tune
Or has brick and mortar
brought it to ruin?
This world is so fast!
Take me back to the past!
It makes such a din
I don't know where to begin!
And cars,
bloody cars everywhere!
If I had an...
