it was as if silence
caught—grabbed—held.
the stillness
holds a baby crying
on the couch, lifeless;
bodies unmoving,
heart and soul
needle-strewn.
and where is the madness,
if not
in the allowance?

check-out bellboy,
yo-yo toy—
drag by axle,
walk a dog
around the yard;
better yet,
in a park—
a wheel riding
the sidewalk,
a tug retriever,
special breed here.
hotel, no telling;
tall tales

are they fragments?
unsure of reflection,
misdirected lights
splinter across walls—
as though nails on chalkboard;
one hears the shadows
resting in between.
greige,
liminal without color,

is it touch—
how sensation remains?
does one linger,
or does the impression
brand a burn?
inside, one ignites;
flames freed,
as though reaching,
left as ingot
a forge
of heart.

her pull
as if
a scent forgotten—
a grin;
he leans in,
drenched in desire,
a delicacy,
palpable beneath skin.
and how a bite
becomes a kiss,
so close
to devouring.

paths through string,

sonnet graphed across plots,
land in vestibule:
conundrum of capture,
an enrapturing affair.

placed bets
just over hedge—
where?
beyond the maze:
cartography,
topology.
wish for a map,
count thy pace,
measured steps;
and with all we know,
the legend tells us
we are nothing
if not
lost.

do you dare?
do you listen?
a heart explodes—
nitroglycerin;
not an attack,
an emotion
cut in half.
so rush in,
breathe deep;
chase what you seek
with all you have—
until you find
release.

arrivals
as if the first words spoke
counted in triplet—
a three beyond pairing;
and in daring,
an i love you,
dashing, caring,
flightful fairings.
an answered call,
akin to wish—
words read,
and thoughts finished;
to meet outside dreams,
to be
witness.

the marbles burble up.

footing fails

undeveloped,
basked
