laying in shards of glass
greying and hard en masse
scattered as autumn leaves
crackling crimson underneath men’s feet

billowing gusts of dust *****
lolling in trees where critters crawl
crystalizing as snowflakes
blanketing tongues and cherry face

set as dewdrops on emerald blades
or beads of sweat on humid days
hailstones that ping-pong off cars
ashes that fall from smoked cigars

painting an azure sky in a mosaic
can’t say that these pieces aren’t prosaic!
an artist’s touch brings them to life
making them shine in the spotlight
