As the swans of winter land on mirrored boughs,
Patting the perfect sheen with wrinkled feet
I will watch from the far shore,
Scarlet leaves churned feather-white.
...
I lifted the bag
I thought held all
I needed
But as I turned,
...
He sees the greens,
The greys, the browns,
Of island life
transformed to black
...
I wonder if you know
How high you’ve lifted me
How far there is to fall,
If you should let me go.
...
Green lives long,
'Til Autumn's Alchemy
Spins a thousand shades of gold
As days grow short
...
I really need some sugar,
And it has to come from you
I really need some sugar,
And only yours will do
...
Do you want to hear it?
That I am smitten,
No, hopelessly
In love with you.
...
The boy and the dog
Stand in stillness on the waiting road.
Night’s embrace cloaks them in darkness
no less than invisibility.
...
