Heavy, The Air

Heavy, the air.
Weary, the trees
Whisper their despair.
Invading miasma
Of crawling dreams,
Drifts, dense
With unremembered songs.
Heat oppressed,
Unseen Loa cry.
Intensely sweet
Their unheard wails
Are entwined,
Tangled,
In blue mist.
Eerie soup flows,
Thick with voiceless
Voices filling
Unrequited voids,
Empty of regard.
Leaves droop,
Breathless.

Hunger

.
.
A song never sung
Was silenced by an owl’s
Whispered hunting flight.

Warming

.
.
Deceptively soft,
Warming breezes contrast with
Winter’s shadowed cold.

Dark Dance

.
Straddling fault lines,
We dance above the abyss.
There is no safety.

Do You Remember?

.
.
Winter rain falling,
Heavy, on the metal roof,
Brings back memories.

Bright Yellow

.
Glowing bright yellow,
Hickory trees burst through the
Winter morning fog.

Silvered Paths

.
Shimmering moonlight,
Shining through midnight black trees,
Silvers hidden paths.

Heavy

.
.
Heat wilted leaves droop,
Motionless in the heavy air.
.
In the distance thunder rumbles.
Darkness comes from the north.
