My wings
are torn pages
from poetry and hope
tomorrow will find us kinder,
at peace.

Star Travelers
we're all immigrants
born from bits of stars and flesh
finding our way home

Dead Roses
her eyes question him
about all the dead roses
he always brings her

Alice
Somewhere
there's an Alice
thinking of rabbit holes
and why a Mad Hatter couldn't
save her.

Strawberries
fields bloomed in strawberries
bold sarcastic valentines
shaming roses

Coordinates of a Calendar
Half asleep,
barely able
to feel
the coffee cup
in my hands,
I wander morning
searching for
a destination
my calendar
has not yet mapped.

Electric Wink
Street lights
wink with wired eyes
flirting with the unseen
in a strange romance with shadowed
sidewalks.

Nests
I watch birds
riding winds
in their nests.
I wish I could be
as brave.
My nest of walls
and windows
feels far more fragile.
