Swells
waves rise up and fall
the rhythm of the ocean
moves us together
–
surfing-
the swell
of your hips
Category Archives: Sun
Corruption
doe-eyed sycophants-
suckling at the teat of
this festering pig
–
overcast-
the lack of sunlight
goes unnoticed
Heat
an empty porch swing-
lazy paddle fans disturb
the hot southern air
–
the forest floor-
dragonflies still
in the thick air
Dusk
as venus rises
the sun on the horizon
sets the trees aglow
–
western fires-
too soon dowsed
by a deluge of stars
Cats
two dark silhouettes
framed in the open window
sitting side by side
–
tails twitching-
warm dreams
in the sunlight
Farming
verdant fields of grass
freshly cut into windrows
drying in the sun
–
migrant bees-
tend the
grape arbor
Morning
awake in my bed-
dawn eases through my window
gilding all I see
–
a web of stars-
blackbird songs
invades my dreams
Return
the lobsterman’s wife
watching the lighthouse at the
dying of the day
–
silent passage-
darkening water
laps the shore
Escape
alone on the road
speeding towards oblivion
far away from you
–
velvet panic-
our safe word
forgotten
Shoreline
the wind on the dunes-
playful fingers turning the
pages of my book
–
wet towels-
bare feet
on my dash
