Water & Cobra

River boat

Down beside the flat lands

And the bicycle palaces

-----------------------------

A place to become unsettled

Legs turn, unsteady

Humans, with the voices of birds

Fires, pyres, as screened by poets

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Absence

Little girl, sat by her mother

Sips ice cream soda

Through a straw

Today her father

Is elsewhere

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Mirrors & Bars

Beautiful people

City central vacation

Hair stylists, and beauty parlours

Food routines; for bodies

And soul brothers

---------------------

Plums à la tomate

Generation through generation

A spotted dress

Drinks from my coffee cup

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Recovery

Sit, settle; take a while to relax

Embroiled, so to speak

A cacophony of human voices

To still the aches

Of this one more human

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Rich

Lightless windows

At the end of the day

A strength of blue

Purpose made

For lovers at play

Play on the waterfront

Play in the drinkers bar

Play at the all-night discotheque

Before the moonlight arrives

With the morning star

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE
