nature

Leaking Twilight

Razor sharp winds
needling heavy clouds
perforating
those miserly grey temples
the leaking twilight
beaming warmth
like celestial beacons
reminding Lady Earth
and all her children
the sun is always watching
observing
the mundane and insane
and when it may seem
the bleakest and blackest
the hope of light
is real.

the fly

No more clapping palms.
A fly dead in shocked violence.
Silence falls. At last.

Hurt the Sky

Lightning pierces sky
wounding with crazed cruel intent
Thunder gives applause.

Hands

Nature holds our hand
we wear daisy chains
and lay on green blades
getting tickled
but the dandelions die
and fade without fanfare
hoping to return
all the while
nature holds our hand.
