Cobra

A place to become unsettled

Legs turn, unsteady

Humans, with the voices of birds

Fires, pyres, screened by poets

Water

River boat

Down besides the flat lands

& the bicycle palaces

Absence

Little girl, by her mother

Sips Ice Cream Soda

Through a straw

Today her father

Is elsewhere

Bars

Plums et la tomatoe

Generation through generation

A spotted dress

Drinks from my coffee cup

Pristine

You took your time, to look so good

You stole my mind, they said you would

With half a sign, the half that almost misunderstood

More than half unkind, the half that knew I no how should

We danced the line, swayed, yet somehow leaning stood

I said you're mine, pray venture, to flow deep within my blood

Time stood still, as if our place was under the rainbows hood

We cared for the thrill, spilt the rest, left unfulfilled in bluebell wood

Daylong nights took their toll, our play turned bad, we'd had it good

We departed, the drift to roll; our hopelessness started, we knew it could

You look so good, I took my time

I dreamt you would, you appear quite sublime
