taste it

the cherry breaks in two,

red juice dripping down my fingers,

sticky, sweet taste of summer

lingers on my lips

All Dolled Up

Diamond dew earrings

strung on blades of damp grasses

dressed up for morning.

storm

pitter patter

raindrops falling

the sky splits in two

as lightning flashes

one second

two

three

and thunder crashes.

Leaves

I do not know bland

rancid or stale... 

even in the graveyard

I am surprised

by the freshness

of Life...

Senses Awakened

The wind at my back,

the spray of the saltwater sea in my face,

all tells me

the sound of the smell,

tastes pure and lovely.

between her lips

rolled paper and nicotine

choking on plant ashes

and relishing in the feel of

being lost in her own lungs and mine

breathing wintry-heat on morning-afters like

a smoke-reeking canary.

Woodsmoke

I dreamed

the moon through

my window,

light, like the first snow,

like woodsmoke

in the rafters,

my mother's laughter

tickling my toes.

Morning Cup of Tea

I simply can't do without

A burst of light into my soul

A gentle dance on my tongue

All within a little cup

Humidity

This water cloys the air.

Sweat-skinned, I

breathe it in

and drown under the sun.

Lilting Laughter

Melodic in the warm summer breeze,

weaving swiftly between bubbles and kites.

Popsicles, dripping as they unfreeze,

falling off her tongue into the golden light.
