Snippets (Some pims)
I.
desert stillness shrouds
their adversary lairs
twilight's muted thunder
betrays the nearby
stealthy moon
II.
pale gold ribbons
fiery soft skies
sea haze streaks a thin mountain path
as day begins
III.
kitchen pans, pity, pungent cheese
and garden lace -- the matriarch
dripping decay
with her mild gentility
IV.
winter snow, ice
slow spring melt
rain-drowned torrent ocean bound flow
placid river drift
debris of desire
V.
drifting memories
of lakes
water lapping against land
heartbeats floating on the breeze
the water reflects your face
look away
VI.
the chalky moon
creases midnight clouds
blue shades of lovers
walk a powdery sky
chortle at the other's close proximity
