keep it short
Make it short
Soothing rain on slates
Heal nerves torn to tatters
Unforgiving is life.
Rain is decanting
A transparent carpet of silk
Untouchable beauty.
Rain chased by gusts
Mad dance around corners
A day fit for heroes.
Soothing rain on slates
Heal nerves torn to tatters
Unforgiving is life.
Rain is decanting
A transparent carpet of silk
Untouchable beauty.
Rain chased by gusts
Mad dance around corners
A day fit for heroes.

mercy
drier than the
river with no water:
how the lack of human kindness
mirrors
places in the arid desert,
where poor, helpless creatures
bow their heads in
silence!

spanish
black curls, tanned skin.
"hazel-eyed pretty boy"
troubled youth, better man now, still
halfling
tinted, hard to blend with them
white side doesn't accept
some, not fully
misjudged

Cinquain
Spaced out
but stuck in time
tempted to make a break
I will stick it out for now though
patience
but stuck in time
tempted to make a break

the days become shorter and cold

Arresting Motion
Today,
at around noon,
I will stop becoming
for a couple of hours; who wants
to join?

Cracks
Always,
he's slipping in
between the cracks and, yet,
always, he'll still be trying to
get in...

Gazing
Deep into these
Eyes are so red and wide with
Visions of a stranger land
