Garden
Dark flowers bloom as
Small drops of rain release the
Incense of the earth

Cobwebs
Rising from my tea
White threads of heady vapor
Clear the dross of sleep
Blues
Smoky music seeps
Through these thin apartment walls
And pools in my ears
Mirage
Heat searing the dunes
Visions of water beckon
Far in the distance.
Rebirth
A desert reborn
As rain coalesces and
Falls to the parched earth
Reminiscence
Smoke borne on the wind
Transporting me to the hearth
Of my childhood home
Passion
Our love together
Once bathed in fire, now kept warm
By an ember’s glow
Stars
Pin points of pure fire
Adrift in the firmament
Lit by the sunset
Steam
A humid spring day
Sudden rain soaks the asphalt
And leaves it steaming
