Dizzy

Why his head spins he
doesn’t know. Vertigo’s made
the world hell’s fun house.

Hope

Dark fear crackling at
the edges, the heart beats on,
pulsing core of light.

Snow blind

Spiraling flakes, like
small hands opening wide, feel
their way down to earth.

Afternoon rendezvous

She blithely sails out
the door. No explanations
save her secret smile.

Friendship during hard times

Like an egg in a
carton I fall but don’t crack,
cushioned by your strength.
