Noah's Curse

to turn on a tap

for one drop of water,

so much will be lost

the waste is shameless,

a flagrant inundation

of the original thirst,

and so with words, when

 unfettered feverish

tongues spill forth

across a page, all

meaning is lost,

the vital message

undelivered

Summer Dress

trees standing together

bristle rubbing shoulders

shivering like haute-couture

models, lean, willowy, naked

before being dressed

one eye on the weather

indecisive, not knowing

what best to wear and when,

they ache for a decorous

summer and the chance to

float like gossamer

on a light breeze

alas not today
