Poetry

water waiting

hidden behind nowhere
lies a song
singing

a pink place
silent ceremony
service

cool intoxicating stones
wet water
narrative

euphonious blue sky
imperial impression
tranquility

tangible truth caught
continuing hieroglyphic
exile

Burn

crossing
the sea
sizzling hot sand

fiery
coarse sand
my feet burn

running
with everything
envision salty shores

emerse
singed soles
ignite cool waters

close
my eyes
swelling surf magnified

gentle
soothing breeze
heals the burn

Taking Turns Talking

i
love my
dear fleeting friends

always
there waiting
crowded empty rooms

bumping
against one
another restless souls

appointments
to make
no drop-ins allowed

stories
to tell
unfinished lives twitter

my
life unhinged
dear fleeting friends

the summer solstice

summer flame sparks
