Empty exit

Music made with tears, /

dissonance flows over me. /

Words clang: bullet, heart.

Sometimes

Sometimes, what I see, /

heavy yet light in the sky, /

Dog walk

A fall walk at dusk, /

tethered to the edge of light, /

two dogs and me.

Light as a child’s wish /

painted across the blue sky. /

I paint a wish, too.

A single flower /

Two chairs

We shall find ourselves, /

two chairs by an ageless sea, /

folding in our names.
