An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.
Being a silly girl

An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.
I burn candles and
incense. Maintain silence. Find
myself in nothing.
Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.
Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.
Like speed dating, if
they make a good impression,
they come home with us.
Inside the snowglobe
winter’s still life settles as
flakes swirl in the air.
Viriconium,
Gormenghast, Majipoor. Dark
journeys. Twisted dreams.
White has many shades.
Shadow blue, sunlit gold, grey
of approaching storm.
Small delicate word
studies of a larger life
viewed by an artist.
Summer’s sizzle leaves
me cold. Instead, winter’s white
embrace warms my heart.
