Walls overcome by
broken vines and shattered panes leave
heart exposed to life.

Dark clouds slipping
through the cold gray skies of Spring;
Winter lingers on.

Pastel skies of
Lavender, pink and tangerine
paint the morning.

My ears warm to
the sweet sounds of Spring as
songbirds return.

The butterfly
believes it’s flying, still trapp’d
in its cocoon

Autumn paths remain
buried as Antigone’s wind shakes
the leaves from the trees.

An old man stands,
only holes for his pockets,
begging for more.




“blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blahblah,
blah blah blah blah blah,
blah blah blahblah blah
blahblah blah blah
blah blahblah blahblah.”
So,

One last lonely leaf
Fragile, ravaged by Winter
Barely hanging on

Morning horizon
Bright red, like rush hour brake lights
Warning in the sky



Splashes and Rivulets.
The rain dances then flows
washing, cleansing the
streets and sidewalks
by lamplight
while the city sleeps.
The sins of Winter
washed into the gutter and
time moves slowly.
I stare impatient
by the window
waiting for repentant Spring.
