Let’s find the space to meet each other halfway -
This time as friends,
Not for bonds that tie us but in spite of them.
...
A slow exhale -
The smoke seeps out.
Every pore of your body reaches out,
To grab it back
...
Small satchel, holding book promises
Little single light her nightly stage,
Little girl walking -
Climbed the barren hills,
...
Peeling off from the ceiling and walls
Hiding behind centuries of color
And paint -
Caged by Michelangelo and Botticelli,
...
Deep dark eyes
Small opening of a curtain
Watching through
- The thick underbrush,
...
After-burn of glowing embers,
Ends bottled up,
Ingesting and displaying fire,
Lighting up dark nights.
...
So many meanings,
So many interpretations,
Carcass, tied to a chair - strapped,
To be carried away,
...
Gentle undulating lifting of curtain,
Gently kissed by slight wind,
Follow of a gentle jazz rhythm,
Plucking of a bass string,
...
Ink from sharpened edges,
Ink stained feathers stained from ages,
Strands as spider threads,
Weave complex webs,
...
Upheaval from a mother’s breast
Churning deep inside her womb,
Plates colliding, shifting,
Patience runs out,
...
