The Train Howls

The train howls

while cat paws

continue

to push gently 

on the sleeping child

Muffin

Within a week

She's half the size she was

It may be just days

Before the spot on the desk 

Is empty

Long Way Home

A Mercedes squashed at both ends

Dog runs frantically in between speeding cars

A brown belly hawk lies lifeless upside-down

Wings spread out in defeat

Falling

like a splash of falling stars

time shifts 

in the blink of an eye

jubilant noise surrounds our being

Hands

hands

moved back and forth

she caressed the moment

soft smile 

emerged from under the clouds

he

wiped tears from the sky

Mercy Street

Peter Gabriel on the radio

Mercy Street haunts the flow of the day

dreaming always in color and signs

When You Looked Into My Eyes

Photo Blu Gengo

When you looked into my eyes

I saw a thousands butterflies 

Resting on a dragon

A dancer on the tip 

of a mountain

overlooking the sea

When you looked into my eyes

The world caught a glimpse 

Of sunshine through a cotton flower 

On a tumultuous day
