The Fall
Discordant leaf chatter argues over the path, dispersed by a nettled wind This is the Fall of my life. Every breath shivered and twirled on the air, Fogging a glass piece Through which I stare. At lions at play in … Continue reading

Promise to be Safe (the old boat prose)
Promise to be safe and ponder with you heart Breathe deeply and fill your eyes Be clarity in the sands Venture with your mind into the white caps. An old remembrance of a boat, adorned with palm fronds and dusted … Continue reading
