finding faulkner once more
serpentine tussle
tugging and alluring
how heavenly sinister
and uncertain

something so cloaked
and contained
characters climbing
falling flat fumble

black and white
living dying death
love at last
a jump out a window
forever planted

snake charmer decoder
long mysterious tails
one to another
distant dark collusion

i can’t put the book down light in august

morning glow assembly
majestically proclaims
another fast forward
reminding me to yield

surrogate surrounding cantata
sorrow’s steady soothing steps
tomorrow’s turn tumbling foward
there’s not too many left

the wind flies constant
never stopping once
leaving more than less
dropping dreams design

settled comfortably
on the edge of a crackly leaf
the dew comforts

we write poems: keepsakes like a breathe

one step follows another and
when we meet an impasse
the downhill side smiles

calm calamity casually calls
telling us a story of freak and fret
where without walks wanting
_____________________________

three word wednesday:  sliver, downhill, freak

cuddling the core
mortal unmentionables
carnality coat

2.
catching quiet wind
grasping loosely never told
sand slipping stories

3.
coyote calm coo
he clearly saw the remains
heartfelt howl hiss

4.
i’m trying you know
leaving it all behind me
dead dry roses cry
