Hazy moon / crouched behind low cirrus / sends down rain
insomniac shadows / tangled / in all manic cartoons
Wind chasing clouds / shy trees show their ruffles / soon silvered by rain
The footfall of cats / quieter even / than sparrow prints in dust
Cerulean morning / birdsong floats downward / through gleaming green leaves
Cool wind rattles the leaves / in perfect rhythm / with discordant crow song
Powdered phantoms / flitting lunatic snowflakes / worshipping the moon
Owls softly hoot / unblinking eyes / watching wary mice
Creeping golden light / dazzles dust motes / falling through blinds
Chattering breezes / weaving through leaves / August's gossip
Bright seagulls wheeling / write briny poems / on fanned tail feathers
Airships overhead / grind the haze with turbines / gliding on mined wings
Lingering goose song / ephemeral lonely notes / trailing on the wind
Diffuse rainbow light / through semi precious bears / gummi familiars
Lugh slowly waning / sparrows write hungry poems / in the cool morning
Awake with deep breaths / your heavy sigh beside me / you are dreaming too
You found my eyelash / on the corner of your mouth / you gave me the wish
Sleepy afternoon / five crows alight on a wire / the sun on their backs
Morning haze / dream coloured bedroom / your head on my pillow
Sheets hung on a line / sunlight and leaves come to rest / in the cotton folds
Dandelions gone / trembling globes like soft ghosts / hold the longing light
In the steaming cup / one milk coloured leaf / veined with coffee
Childs thoughtful eye / gazing at leaves in piles / thinking about slugs
Sending air kisses / in onionskin envelopes / weighted by the stamp
Old love letters / soft with many foldings / in a wooden box
Wind blows churlishly / pressing on the windowpane / teacup un-rattled
Coffee brewing / a pinch of cinnamon / smell of fall morning
Sipping green tea / fragrant steam from the cup / caught in your lashes
Early grey morning / gathered under low clouds / small brown birds chase bugs
Oldest mother / catches sharp words in her teeth / scalding the teapot
Old tortoise resting / inside his barnacled shell / framed postage stamps
Elegant bone cage / perfectly engineered / there are no blueprints
You, breathing gently / mumbled words falling softly / on your pillowcase
Lonely cotton sky / belly on the mountaintop / heavy with cold rain
Words on seamed paper / perfume caught in the creases / faded with reading
How delicately / he touches fragile flesh / not a sweet plum bruised
Rainbow dyed pages / hung with small bells, fat with paste / smell of paper dreams
Sparrows dropping notes / from the branches of the elm / songs in falling leaves
Curled paper leaves / laze and fall in faded light / horned owl snoozing
She sharpens her teeth / epithets fall in his beard / tangle with toast crumbs
Cold light through stained glass / bruised colored words clinging / atmosphere of sparks
Cold light through stained glass / bruise colored words, clinging / atmosphere of sparks
Sweetened steam rises / coffee, hot and pale with cream / raspy morning kiss
Siamese sleeping / resembles curled zen thought / tail is a comma
Tucked your old kisses / in a paper box, high up / they fall on my cheeks
Soft boiled eggs, milk / wet morning, protein feast / tea steeps in a pot
Soft boiled egg, milk / wet morning, small protein feast / tea steeping in the china pot
Brittle sunlight falls / breaks softly on fat pumpkins / long vines laced with frost
Like a gentleman / he offered her the wish / from his lit candle
Hot, tarry coffee / adulterated with cream / smell of singing nerves
Dark underbellies / of lazy vanilla clouds / thin light turns to blue
Pale morning hello / one long feather, white edged blue / as from an angel
Wary of the cat / pressed against the windowsill / wrens in the alley
Sun rises, pale light / casting weeping tree shadows / cold glass morning
Brittle early day / yellowing leaves rimmed with frost / winters glassy kiss
One dragonfly left / shivering over her words / wing colored shadows
Placed in a bell jar / sprigs of clary sage, fireflies / truth in wild visions
Behind purpled lids / alkaline visions, brewing / steeped in clarity
Behind pink pill dust / notions, dust motes lit up, lost / sharp wind clears the air
Pale winter sunlight / bright through the last paper leaves / wind, cold in nude limbs
Early light painting / morning, three lonely geese / asking directions
The sky is falling / she stands, opens her mouth, tastes / god flavored rain
Planet tilting left / light thinning, winter twilight / pastel caliber
You left this morning / your key in the door, soft sound / note on the pillow
Wind catching feathers / moving sky, brushstrokes of grey / bird calls meet the rain
A murder of crows / tapping cryptic messages / clever feet, rooftop
