Exchange

red sun red skin white
blanket white fingers touching
ghosts of dead trade winds

buzzing flies / warm blood
carcass of a slain cow through
abattoir windows

Teapot

setting down the kettle,
in the light of the setting sun,
pouring water, the green tea leaves settle,
at the bottom of a teapot, brewed for no one.

Forgotten

I am leaves of tea,
Steeping till the water's cold,
Bitterness alone.

Forest Heat

summer air shimmers
sheets of melted glass flowing
through caverns of leaves

Was

our marriage was
a double blind study of love
hypothesis disproved for
neither of us
can see the other any more.

Norman Crane Jun 2021

pain succumbs to numb
nests decay in the twilight of the fall
ing rain
