Slices of sunlight
Echo deep in the puddles
Restless and dazzling.
*
I sketch my own ghost
Inside the iron spiral
Blood thick as a thief.
*
Fresh as a new blade
Cutting through my lemon mind
Pushed against my grain.
*
Bricked up escape hatch
Glockenspiel rings in my head
The mallet comes down.
*
Diluted nightmare
Foolish under 60 watts
Dense as witch water.
*
Winter diamond mine
Shadows trace our late night skin
Breath breaks the silence.
*
I lie underground
Pale and still as colours shoot
Up through the damp soil.
*
Long after I’m gone
I hope someone will bring me
Abandoned wild blooms.
*
Hand on the door knob
Eyes, a still life of flowers
You turn one last time.
*
The trees in the woods
Bend like widows in the wind
That blows light away.
*
Slogging through mind mud
Insight lands like a white bird
On wiser shoulders.
*
Spring knocks at the door
She’s the one in the green dress
That used to be white.
