Poetry

"...awestruck by starshine shimmering ..."

"...I worry about declines..."

"...Think of language hurdles for tourists and arrivals..."

...Let rainfall wash away my pains..."

"...It had its own spot in the backyard..."

"...the pause between the dark and bright..."

"...the bitter snow bites your face..."

"... Candles draft the final chapter..."

"...elk wandered to water this morning..."

"...life disintegrates in seconds..."

"...sequences chipping away..."

"...An aching heart is sure to come..."

"It’s a paler sun than I’m used to..."

"...A final salute..."

"...a human exodus strip between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa..."

"...Our rails cross a parallel distance..."

"...speaking a language we pretend to understand..."

"...our simple plateaus of meaty struggle..."

"They come and they go..."

"Imagine taking all the jigsaws you own..."

...solid or print but never monochrome..."

"...Love is a blank check/an IOU theory..."

"...Moments, long past and forgotten, came to life there..."

"...a voluntary tie that bonds together..."

"...Time’s running out..."

"...like a poisonous flower..."

"...it reminded him of home..."

"...Their time is not long..."

"...we trusted Trust, as taught to do..."
