In the skyscraper
canyons, light outlines moving
shapes sipping Starbucks.

The equinox means
equal night and day worldwide
yin and yang of light.
Spring equinox
Days grow longer like
smiles that stretch wider as one
greets a long lost friend.
February 29
Like the extra hour
when we fall ahead, this one
day a trick in time.
In mourning early morning
J9 can’t sleep since
her mother died stays up and
writes heartache in tears.
Contemplating midnight urban exploration
We drive to where his
girlfriend’s dad says the haunted
tunnel is. We freak.
Watching after 2 am
TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss
Lunar eclipse
Luminous suitor,
the moon dimmed by darkness’s
seductive regard.
In sleep
Her breath sounds like the
whistle of distant trains bound
for lands beyond dreams.
Honey, I’m home
I walk in. He licks
my hand, grabs my fingers with
gentle teeth, won’t let go.
