Some people already have their escapes planned.

Memory
Red columbine, /
shooting star through April rain, /
lights my memories.

Kiss
Deep within spring clouds, /
beauty forms and floats away; /
born of a rain’s kiss.

Phantoms
Once there, but now gone. /
Time and seasons take away. /
Impressions remain.

Skeleton of memories
Winter killed our tree. /
Don’t know if it was before, /
during, or after /
your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /
no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /
Skeleton of memories.

Catching
Catch the crescent moon, /
weaving through barren branches /
leaves of light leaving.

Entwined
Old and new embrace. /
Winter entwines with Spring: /
leaves both brown and green.

Gone
The road, the clouds, the wires /
point to horizons gone /
from your moments here.

East
Over in the East, /
burning below night’s pains, /
rises dawn’s searching flame.

Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.
