Timeless For a Minute
Before Time hears us,
and takes grandma’s heart,
Daddy’s job,
Our youth,
And this moment,
I can whisper,
underneath
the merciless minutes,
“forever.”
Scientist
Blaming the nest
for my frustration,
I fly into the night
only
to confirm
that Earth is indeed
round.
This So-Called Beauty Within
On the inside is much
too close to her kiss.
Under the silk of her epidermis,
Just behind appealing eyes
Bubbling beneath her girlish figure
Too easy
when the inside is so close to the out.
No, I am sure, slick one,
you have not seen it.
Lead Crystal
Stickers in sparkly inspiration
stuck to the face of my notebook
and the mouth of my elders,
make me rubber
and bounce me back.
Again, again and again
I rise into a new way of falling,
each time wishing
I was lead crystal.
