This living
Decomposition-

Fascination

We met in the
Hot breath
Between stars-

Eddying cosmic radiation.

You live next door

Capacity of sympathy
For cold universe.

Intermittent orbs of burning
Radiation.


Pitiless
Universe
No empathy for

Sullied creatures crawling
In pond sludge

Only dimly aware of
God's failure.

Flying dragon
Launches-

Arch predator on the
Miniscule

i.

spring's grey moons
everything is still
the hush of the skies.


ii.

first new buds
white cloud of hawthorn
morning's broken ghosts.

iii.

strengthening sun,
iron and feathers sky,
bird like a speck.

iv.

blue edge of sky
sunlight on flashy wings
empty world.

v.

clouds of drowning white
blowsy sweetened breeze
tall grasses sway.

vi.

last winter gust,
shadow on the earth
song of the rain.

vii.

surreal morning tide
hurrying wave
kiss for my love.

viii.

sea-spray hits a sail
anchor lowered down
ropes thrown to shore.

Not so much
Morphing

As
Sagging-

Tick-tock

One more year
On the clock
