Résumé Living

encapsulating

transforming a breathing life

to a static blurb

Tying Ends

graced with her crisp smile

as the darkness sank around

slow came our goodbyes

Blue Bundle

cover shot perfect

with bright shining eyes and smile

cradling her joy

Marked

liquid in the veins

permeated with the joy

as though bliss branded

Autumn Bite

air crisp like apple

slow roll from summer to fall

soon the crackle brown

Another Dollar

blocky and stunted

day moving like stacking stones

walls of consequence

Settling Debts

your pieces of eight

fragmented beyond repair

for my broken heart

Water and Stars

crazy at midnight

watching the roof-hugging moon

through the sprinkler haze

Apollo Admirer

pursed lips kiss goodnight

since smiling in his presence

now tucked in for sleep

Impending Swelter

heavy with moisture

wading through a wall of air

that waits hind closed doors

Potted, Planted, Prospered

roots nestled gently
soil buoyant beneath my touch
sating green leaf thirst

No-Touch Clean

beating the window
waves ascending, descending
car wash like patter

Enter Bogart

sterling rays descend

bathing the world in grayscale

Casablanca born

Keys of Spring

variegated, it

fed by sun and thunderstorms

preparing to fly

Symphony Showers

staccato rain beats

water music stops and starts

full washed moon looks on

Angel/Man

for which will reveal

divine intervention or

mortal on two legs

Ox

solid and steady

pulling forward on the path

devoted ever

Eagle

on wings he must soar

embodiment of spirit

gazing on the truth

Lion

majestic and proud

crown of gold circling his face

held for all to see

Ballet d'Hiver

under sheltered moon

in her whispering caress

spun flake pirouettes
