Winter Morning





Daybreak pretends
a tepid critique 
enclosed by 
brisk flake
and frost-laden sod
as winter sun glows
flesh between 
ocean mist
and steel blue.

Intimations





She turns a whisper
and the air cools 

 gently. 

 Spring haze drifts
between the glint
of iris reflections 
bending 
within ripples.

 I know this place 
of yesterday's glimmer
and bleed memory 
for its taste.

Defeat






It is opulent mist,

copulating behind
the preen of
darkling breath
and the botanical
ash of elusive
mercury
that curl a neglected
tongue's fever
in its vicious cycle
of charade
and shifting surrender.
