 Hand-Breath

As age hobbles in
walking all over me,
creativity alights upon
lengthening shadows
as if fluorescent oil pastels,
bold acrylics
can turn the page on hands
wrinkling
like a closing flower
sensing night.
New Times Roman
key strokes
saving poetic license
within fretful fingers--
forsaking swirling script -
grateful, the muse still graces
my gradient gray matter.



Sins of the Mother

Forgetting grace,
regrets
rise
out of the coffin
already buried.
Dance
on full moon dreams.
Thoughts
gasp
like bleached bones
in a breathless desert,
'If only I hadn't...'.


Widow's Walk

Ice sketchings frame my window.
Moon glow weaves violet veined shadows

upon white caps rising, falling,
breaking on pallid wind-whipped snow.

The street light steals into my bed
insolently trumpeting your absence.

In the dusky depths of my room.
With dark arms stretching,

lonliness holds me close to its cold breast -
whispers of death.
