We Were Beautiful
The complication of those earrings
the texture of the paint around your eyes
the sun's highlights in your hair
The redness of those parting lips
such belief in everything we said

Morning Mellow
With eyes closed
I'm morning mellow
and grateful
Survived another crash
the screech of a derailment

Beyond the pane
summer wind rips
licks at the glass
makes me feel small
and safe, for now
