Bees
with their erratic flight and soft buzzing she was hypnotized by the bees
Leaves
the leaves fall, one by one–
the tears of summer days and youthful years
Solid
she exhaled a warm breeze through the generations–
over castles and moats, around labyrinths and garden mazes;
her whispers wrapped thin and tall and solid
Wild
in her heart she was a wild and feral thing
Seeing You
i see you clearly when i close my eyes
Thoughts
staring at the late summer landscape, he divided turbulent thoughts; like logs stacked for winter fires
Rage
her burning rage scorched through mountains and rivers and thick, moss-covered forests; above dreams and nightmares and across time, reaching into the distant, prehistoric past and all future moments balanced upon the icy precipice between now and forever
Citronella
the wind rustled the citronella leaves, weaving whispers of fragrance in our hair
Howl
the coyotes howl out west–
how i wish i could howl
