Grace Dec 2023
Tired, dry, sick, and yet
the snow has never stuck
so wet
instead, it rains
or snows and melts
forget the muck
the pain is felt
without the Winter to deflect us.
Grace Dec 2023
A kiss to waver all contempt away,
a lovely flavour that no flower could convey.
To pluck its petals, like the strumming of a lyre,
a song, ephemeral but the loveliest of choirs.
to all those who make my heart sing
Grace Dec 2023
Wasps buzzing in figs,
a sharp sting for the sweetness
that gods claim to own.
Grace Dec 2023
It is cold and dark in the morning.
Night passes from evening until noon,
Short hours of daylight in June -
the clouds reveal sun without warning.
Grace Dec 2023
timid, meek, the deer
who make trails in the forest
and know more than fear.
in a language, "strong heart" conveys courage.
Grace Nov 2023
seduced by that
innocence
sounding so cruel like deer who
do not know to wait
they run head on
and live or die by chance

that is always the fear -
not even the timing
but the doing

an entire world is waiting
on the other side

so admire the grass
say things
ask.
dreams don't often come walking

William J Donovan
In moments of drunkenness
I dared to speak the truth.
He's nothing more or less,
not an argument or proof.
He's just a black mirror
inside a house of cards
see nothing but my beer
lost in broken shards.
