Self-inflicted


on your desk, ninja stars

on your arm, faded scars

Squawk Thoughts

Seagull, seagull, seagull.

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. :)
