star streak, dressed
in fire, across a mountainscape,
across buried souls in bodies
and bones. A silent cry, silver
tail follows, in an instant
there, gone, fading light swallowed
by the dark.

glittering (poem #580)
a glittering mouth, full grill
silver and gold. ice ice ice
everywhere and fresh. soft
clothes, loose, comfortable
and loud, glittering
glittering
heart-ache realms (poem #579)
heart-ache realms and
star dreams chasing,
tastes like caramel, sweet
and thick.
morning star (poem #578)
Where are the eyes of the night, the soul and
the morning star? I am here, listening
to the roll of the globe under my feet
hard-pressed and sore.
Waves Swell (poem #577)
Waves swell
crawling over sand,
discarding shells, broken
abandoned, or picked clean
hold me
land says,
swallow me
let me sink back under your skin
a gull croaks, shakes its head, cries out
against the wind and takes flight
waves overlap over sand, over shell, over
land, climbing, withdrawing, tide in, tide out
hold me
Thank you for reading!
