Brand new poems. :)

Seating arrangement
Particles
white fluffs
of sunshine
sunbursts
peddling off
and around
the early days
of March
your blond hair
full of brightness
carried in
on the wind
pressing against
sharp glass
without making
a mark
in the crinoline
fabric
of your skirt
I place a card
beside your seat
a reminder
of where
you are
to go
when you
fall behind
and forget
where you
once were

Attraction
Ruffled up
its neck
bares the beacon
of elegance
red
orange
and green
I see him follow her
along
and through
the trees
pursuing her
like a mad man
in love
his eyes
on her lips
his need
to kiss her
evident
in his smile
in their laughter
he brings
her another drink
with only
eyes for her
and all the world
is still
in their embrace

towards the floor
lamp
break ing in to
sev er al pi e ces
all clasped
together
in your hand
crushed
by the sound
of breathing

suicide
six pages in
black and white
print
coffee
hot from
the cup
she hands him
a cigarette
before they notice
the open window
and the note
from their daughter
held by magnets
on the fridge

The writer
hunched over
fingers typing
wildly
persecuting
the keyboard
for some
unknown offense
words running
fast
along
and brook
filled with fish
diving into
the clear
afternoon waters
before oxygen
takes them aback
and makes them realize
what little life
they have left

fire
His fist in paper
remnants of a man in ash
wind rips up my pores

hair
oh
odd
of view
pear shaped
singular
mindful
of it all
relentless
climbing
to fall
north bound
stuck
precious
night
there are
no more stars
the moon
cut in squares
dew
upon your wrist
open fields
streaming
with sparks
I lay down
by you
and sleep
