from lapis lazuli to turquoise

yesterday's immense display of wavering sea blues -

hearts of oblivion

off the glass tabletop : an angel flew

after the quick shower

droplets of fresh water drape

the skeletal remains of a coral leaf

span a dainty membrane over 

a charred angel's wing, dead 

tossed out of the sea (its element)

yet bonding with the likes of it

as nothing else on earth

bones and water dance 

in light, effortless

pause pulse glisten

as silver spills upon this barren

inconceivable sky-desert of glass

white clouds heaven’s dust
birth around the surface

breathe shallow-quick

insatiable air to spring

in flight again :

in the afterlife of a charred

one-wing angel

there is always a first flight

in uncertain times of change

one sure thing : an angel 
will always be an angel

"a spiral celebration"

"on the kitchen wall a flash
of shadow:
swift pilgrimage

of pigeons, a spiral

celebration of air, of sky-deserts."

- Denise Levertov

after the fire

mother's egg-laying hens

_ _ _

twilight mist

_ _ _

if i could stare long enough 

at the breaking waves at dusk

and as my vision blurs,
i would see the sea

 evaporating in the twilight.

find myself on the top of a mountain
curiously observing the fog
down the valley. you by my side.

degrees of separation

shades of separation

of horses

[unremembered] dreams

of horses half a life away -

some things bear repeating

message ab ovo

message ab ovo

someone carved in the sand

amid the foaming waves

perfect strangers' footsteps

seaweed debris mess-

ages of affection confessed

at the most uncertain of places

perhaps like the feeling itself?

two words: Te AMO

shouted from the edge
one world fallen for another

as the sea hastens to embrace
cut to the quick erasing

dreaming of horses

monovision

"by retreating to monovision, the superimposition of conflicting images 

is reduced to one view, and no depth perception." -
