apples in the rain.
Mena his jasmine,
the love of yesterday
repaid by images of simple snow

Misguided Friend

He garbled encouragement
just to hide his depression
second eye, he seemed to understand
the absence of genuine care

Justina who knows
where the roses were sent
will you talk purposely
to benchmark your clement start,
not so clear
Tears will oft play their part
beyond the Parterre

mini calendars still hanker
and sometimes come back stronger
no matter how wrong at the time
