Ru ~ dig deeper glitter in her wake...
Hush
12 months ago
A full moon floats high
Like the ghost of an oyster
Over virgin snow.
*
Young fireflies pause
At the pale edge of moonlight
Resting for a spell.
*
Clean, new cities wait.
“Hush” ashy snowflakes whisper
“You mustn’t dig deep”.
*
First snow, a dusting
Before the rain comes again
Flakes ripple and drown.
*
Finally in bed
Droll harmonic eardrums hum
A chauffeur to dreams.
*
Watered down sunsets
Like rainy day chalk drawings
Cling to thick black boots.
*
Quiet new sun climbs
Thin bedsheets poured like skim milk
Across sleepy skin.
