Snow. Globe / Newspaper
:: tycoon revealed as nothing
but a boy, taken
from mother / Nature simple
as a sled burning: "Rosebud."

Poised

buy love buy happy
nest balanced on a cliff's edge
what's bought is sold too

coffee cup broken
pieces strewn across the floor
sharp words were spoken
now we are silent; no more
(s)weeping; sad ceramic gore

i am daylight burned
into your skin / buried deep
seeping out as sin

idlenest

leaves accumulate
on the wet windshield / wipers
off: my car idles
by the local corner store
we had candy / you wanted
more.
