Tail

Another. 
Summer 
Stumbled in
Again. 
You thought
You found 
The final
One
So many times
So many years ago,

You sweated
Even more
Back then,

And now
You smile
Charm
And fire burning
Over coffee
Through a screen. 
The methods might be new
But merely variations. 
Her allurements
So unique
Yet rhyme
With others
Yesterday. 

Another.
Summers
Ever
Return.

Awaiting Snow

The weighted metal cover Holding high the heavens Settles over And on us Uneasy. We are waiting on a birth. We're unaware and unsure If the tranquillized sky Is actually expecting. Cars in awe will smash And slide off highways. Venerating pipes will swell And bulge And burst. The guilty trees will be bowed down Confessing reverent And snap. And yet, we open arms and stare  Beside ourselves And float up prayers for softest flakes And cloud carpets to drop upon  The filthy earth. - 1/10/25

Full and Naked

I stagger through your room, A man too drunk On what I thought was water. You are wrapping darkness Like a robe About your body, Never speaking truth And never telling lies Exactly. The blackly cotton sky  Removes its cloudy clothing For a moment, The full and naked moon Now truth enough For everything. - 3/25/25

Elise in Beige

She wishes She could tan Beneath fluorescent Lights. The constant static Far too soft, The sterile air, The cool cocoon Bathed in beige And calm yet morbid grey, But neutral bland chromatics Never fostered Sprouting wings. That process sounds too gory, Filled with hurt. She hates this Fraudulently promising cage But isn't quite convinced A step away Would lead to green And indigo. She's finished with All pain Forever. She remains, Longing for a window. - 5/16/25
