Abandoned Passion

It strengthened her soul
Like a rain that never ends
Until clouds rolled in

Honey Poem

Cracked glass and bee juice
Dripping denim honey pocket
One serving of entropy
Bought wholesale at the farmer’s market

Diner Mouse

Spine arched, paws cupped,
claws curled, mind manic,
with hoary, oiled fur; with appetite
it pilfers the odd orange seed.

Diamond Necklaces

Glistening on morning sidewalks, horizontal glitter
Dropped where midnight party animals wandered,
Clues to earthly homes,
Or merely snail trails?
