A Break in Time

darkness pours 

over sealed windows

a break in time 

transports the weary

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
