the red spices glistening
Your tongue slides over top

of her former self.

She stood tall and proud
and cowered to no man

suffocating under the weight of it

no boundaries
You smothered me and

flowing across Earth's surface

That no longer seemed to rhyme.
The sand had slipped through her fingers
Through a crack in the bottom . . . more

I'm just a little Moscow sparrow -
so grey, and small, and plain,
so humble and so vulnerable,

I found a four leaf clover
I held it in my hand
A strong wind blew it away

His cheap cigar burns to suppress smells.
A moment of respite and a strike
To light up the smokes from a death-stick.
Now a young sun leans on blue terrace. . . . more

Her paws, soft, are upon fallen gold
Of rustling foliage. Cold sundown
Turns around to a shadowy cottage.
