THEY WILL LOOSEN THEIR GRASP
As the days pass, those roses – one
white, another red – slowly unfold their petals
from bud to full blossom, growing wider
with each night, their scents swelling beneath
the stars, in the moon’s light …but
one day, their petals will loosen their
grasp & begin to carpet this table.
RENASCENCE
On that distant mountain
fire snakes down its slopes
acrid smoke drifts ‘cross miles
wrapping around words we
weave in a blue house
drinking wine & feasting
on this birth day eve
