Either or

Was it the Rapture /

or was it the booze? /

Were the shoes the answer /

Ragged

Ragged little clouds /

tatter from larger bodies, /

flurry in the sky.

Good night

Good night, eclipse. /

Moon hid within Earth’s shadow. /

I hide within mine.

Railroad tracks bend by /

an abandoned building. /

Old echoes linger.

Magic

Books are phrased Magic /

Words shaped by the writer’s touch /

Sculpted on the page.
