DRUNK

Draped in sorrow's cloak
Reckless are my heart's echoes
Understood by none
Nestled in a corner booth
Kindness revived by coffee

 

 

          DEATH

Delicate bones crushed
Eager to take flight - she fell
Asphalt grave her fate
Two scavengers spy a meal
Hastily I bury her

 

 

          LIGHT

Luminating hope
I hold you gently near me
Gnarled hands seek your warmth
Hapless winds are held at bay
Trace the charcoal and ashes

 

 

          BOXER

Bare knuckle brawler
Olympic glory captured
X enolith of God
Excellence eked out in miles
Ropes mark courage's limits

 

 

          DANCE

Decidious soul
Arabesque defines four moves
Nimble corphyees
Cascading rhythmic movements
Epitome of graceful
