Rusted heart
Tin man rusted his heart, /
not in Emerald City, but /
behind fallen eyes.

Embrace
Still sat the squirrel. /
Unmoved stood the metal man. /
Winter embraced both.

Night
Cold, crisp, brittle night. /
Clouds left with the light and wind, /
bundled in small warmth.

Whisper
Whisper of the kiss. /
Light of the forgiving love. /
Where is there good night?

Steps
Success, my dad said, /
was often one foot ahead /
of the other one.

Fists
Curled into dead fists /
brown leaves deny, then decay. /
Winter takes them in.

Icarus
I lack the sky /
and even if I could fly /
the birds would laugh.

Nothing
I left with nothing /
because I came with nothing, /
but my heart is free.

Wings
Wings across the sky: /
dark, expansive nephogram. /
Eagle, hawk, or dove?
