Morning Spider

Onyx eyes

Like seeds

Observe

Somber sunlight

Streaming through

Red membranes

And liquid legs

Wind, ferine

Stirring

Anguished leaves and

Green spider’s

Dark

Spiny Shadow

An Illusory Beauty

Spills a drop of rain

Sizzles and evaporates

Like our memories

Pollen-faced, blue eyes

Smothered in Sun-baked flowers

When light vanishes

Palm fronds bend and sough

Listen for the gale

Ears filling with feral winds

Menacing welkin

An Illusory Beauty

Like the Oleander Moth

Quickly melts away

Wisp of Dangling Bird

Storm Winds blur these thoughts-

(Like a wisp of dangling bird)

Scraping scream, white eyes,

Talons in grey light,

Anguish seeping into earth,

Breathless, hidden in the grain.

A tuft of pale down

Is all that remains-

Easy in the breeze

As the Gale dissipates.

In Withered Grey

In the withered grey,

Jets howling, cars grinding by,

Just beyond these trees.

Dragonfly dips low

In a fog of mosquitoes-

Sluicing Rains alight.

Bright orbs of silver

Shine as sunset dissolves cloud-

Prickly Pear donning diamonds,

Lambent in gloaming.
