Dream Life

Fastened to heaven,
the gaze, rapt upon shedding–
Feet planted to cede.

Descending a Staircase

20190609_142954
Footsteps echoing
as if her ghost of future
present walked ahead.

Meshes of Twilight

Between dream and not,
I found her, fading softly
into dusky gauze.

Tryst

20190608_164935
The sea’s lacy fringe
flirts
with the glistening shore
in the shadow of pines.

Raw Translation

20190608_164840
A wordless haiku,
frosted in glaring silence–
No poet required.

Here Lies Everything

220px-The_Disquieting_Muses
Oh, those crazy Muses,
existing well beyond the borders
of logic and reason,
their joyful disquiet
relative to the epic savvy
and hunger of dwarf stars,
and harmonies sounded
to mine the lyrical lore
of what lies buried
and forgotten
by mortals asleep
at the core.

Ghost Story

STOJAK 72 x 48 inches Figure 90
The turn of the screw,
set her ghost to shivering–
The blues became her.

Last Dance

LS14-310sh Figure 86 72x62
Forever had plans,
to waltz in a white ballroom–
Somewhere, a wrong turn.

Who Was She?

LS12-294 60x72 Figure 70
In purgatory,
the last of the debutantes,
adrift, as if dreamed.

Thickening Plot

Ross II
The lessons were simple–
Never take a bath
in fast-drying cement,
and never love a man
who won’t do your back
when everything hardens
quickly.
