Street seen
I wore shadows.
She wore light.
We met in the street.
The breeze played at painting us together.
The sun declined to stay.
For a moment,
As the light faded,
raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,
We were as one.

The Devil’s Tongue
Silent in beauty /
Fiery as a summer day /
Speak now, Devil’s Tongue.

Gone
Hot, he once was. /
Then, deliquesced, he was gone. /
Humid spot and cane.

First
Red tomato ripe, /

Love fruit in my sight.

Working
The bee’s late day buzz, /
courting among the flowers. /
Evening reaches out.

The blue of evening /

Silent flowers wave.

Window flower
Peeking through the glass, /
Orchid searches for the sun, /
seeking assurance.
