One Eye Open

And she stood at the top of the staircase
Looking down the perilous steps.
Looking down the fragile railing
She saw where she had been
As she rested at the top
Saving breath for her next climb
And wondering if she would ever get there.
But she stood at the top of that staircase
Happily exhausted,
With one eye wide open
Remembering every laborious inhale
And shallow exhale,
Gasping at t...

Crash

Collision at odds with marble and steel
Quite telling of spaces that never seemed real
Hides around corners and waits for the chance
To capture her whole and in midst of sweet dance

And the leg-holds await her with every breath
And still she delights not thinking of death
Trapped in her highlight wit...

See me dripping,
See me try.
Let me out, let me rise
See me flying.
See me crying.
I'll be flying,
Let me out

Sundays Spent

Inside the stately coffee shop
The cool of breeze seeps in
Between the doors pulled open
And brushes o'r your chin.

Strangers note the time change
With the wrinkles on their mind
That creep out through their deep blue eyes
Upon sidewalks you might find.

The stream sweetens simple scenery
Their chats mix a mellow melt
Her smile sings of surrender
While his touch is barely felt.
