I almost made it to the park
I almost made it to the park,
the one smelling like an
untamed jungle,
where wild things rub
against rough trees,
leaving little tufts of fur
clinging to the bark.
I almost made it to the park,
but the spirit of the night
nudged me toward ten
thousand constellations
rumbling through the sky,
and I could not help
but take two others with me,
strangers in the flesh,
but kindred spirits,
and we watched
Cassiopeia’s Crown
crumble into dust.

Flowers

roses in a bowl
to animate her spirit
this month of mourning
~~ ~~ ~~
A bowl of flowers—
impassioned by the fragrance,
she slips off her dress.
~~ ~~ ~~
Flowers in a bowl—
the crone would sore pervert them
with her darkling arts.
