Across reddened skin,
my fingers spread cold, cold cream.
The sting surges...fades.

I throw my head back.
A flock of swans flying north—
I should head home. too.

I should head home too
crickets chirping, stars shooting
horizon tipped home.

only spring, winters
doe hoofs scrape at frozen ground
seedlings wait for thaw

Asparagus now pokes through--
How fresh can food be?

So I cut it out,
twelve angry men, elevened
Juxtaposition

lonely for a form
spilled ink slips across bare desk
staining the silence

embrace the moment
turn into his open arms
feel him take you in

sign away your soul
the dignified way to fail
writing without cause

worse, without effect!
her eyes were her best feature
and told no story

What rest for the fool?
Walking through endless hayfields.
As far in as out.
