PelicanDeath Apr 2016

summer pulls
the curling
length
of her hair

leaves whisper
with a blossomed
voice

tonight the moon
has a fingernail's
edge

Late Night Walk

night answers
in the waning hours

trees bend
whispered reflections
onto the pattern
of my falling steps

PelicanDeath Mar 2016

Lingering

i can feel
the weight
of you

in the growing summer
rain follows
the slow
rustle of
the setting day

PelicanDeath Mar 2016

Driving in a Snowstorm

i miss the silence
of your empty
hand

you drive
your face breathing
a white
light into the dark

the snow
falling like ash
on the road

To the Woman by the Window

summer
turns with
the aging leaves

she carries
her days
on the bend
of her shoulder

the drifting
weight of the morning
curls with the smoke
of her cigarette

January

winter
follows me
here

under
the creeping snow
shadows move
with the sound
of yellowed leaves

Loss

sometimes
i remember you
in the restless hours
when the night follows
the waking quiet
and the summer
is too slow
to come
