Shifting

the curious instant
that murmurs
towards love
on the day
before living.

Thresholds

Serenity beached
Clovis and Clotilde
marry, set up
a country, chosen
like our core
caring, my brilliant 
friend who seems 
the perfect party 
beaming our way
alas and alack.

Carbazole Violet

a scarf thrown
to look disheveled 
around the neck
newer than 
the shirt it masks
worn and wiry 
lost and found
all in a nights work.
