D is for

D Is for Dawn

Aurora mixing pigments,
Titanium, cobalt, ivory black.

Coattails of the night,
Pulling possibility
Like a banner.

Revelation: Tree come into Leaf,
Mountain against Sky.

It is forgiveness and redemption,
Scattered second chances
Like the stars.

B is for

B is for

The way light
Changes as it
Filters through the glass,
Entering a hard beam
And leaving a scattered
Sparkle of delight,
The way you fold me,
Knees tucked into knees,
Elbow cradled
Rib and hip,
The way I crook my arms,
Bend my head and croon.

A is for

A is for


Low hanging, ripe
Congregation of seeds,
Pulp and skin.
Maligned, medicinal,
Sultry, drowsy
Sweetness.
Sticky nectar, rolling
At the feet of the gods.
