Additions
with needle sharp teeth
and razor edged claws they tear
my curtains to shreds
–
silence-
the thunder
of tiny feet

Figurehead
sandals dangling
water lapping at her thighs
her lover, the sea
–
billowing white clouds
salty ocean mists
kiss her face
Panic
small talk in their booth
a dinner plate shatters and
she’s back in Iraq
–
turning winds
a yearling doe
prepares to bolt
Journey
traveling down this
river of asphalt toward
the vanishing point
–
maple leaves
swirling eddies in
a mountain steam
Balloons
aloft and adrift
floating ever so gently
just out of my grasp
–
innocence
tethered
by a string
Direction
guiding my journey
walking with the ghost of you
on my chosen path
–
dripping boulders
surging white water
streams diverging
Alar
walking with my thoughts
the sudden flurry of wings
once more I’m alone
–
circling on updrafts
watching the fish
take wing
Pirates
awash in the tide
a ruined galleon lists
her cannons askew
–
prevailing winds
limping home
on torn sails
Sunset
windows thrown open
sheer curtains gently wafting
in the evening breeze
–
becoming Icarus
flying westward
chasing the sun
Tao
not quite a woman
and yet no longer a girl
searching for her path
–
fresh snow
treading lightly
in your footprints
