on your desk, ninja stars

on your arm, faded scars

Squawk Thoughts

Dancing on wet sand, seagulls pivot,
flap their wings above the incoming tide.

***

Their webbed toes tickled by foam,
seagulls give chase as the tide runs away.

I remember ...

bliss-
filled nights,
our first time
together
when time
stood still
we stopped
together

still


unlike
now

Curtains

such delicate lace
gracing my dusty windshield
insect's fragile wing

Perseid's Eyes

sharp shiny needles
pulled from a black pin cushion
meteor shower

Stickler for detail note: Sweeney's photo is of the 2009 Leonid meteor shower, but it illustrated what I was thinking so perfectly that I had to use it. :)
