Mother Nature
Eclipse this Winter and Give Us Spring.
Every time I set my glass down, it leaves a ring.
Cool water in that familiar shape of infinity.
Little planet of molecules, combed right out of the air, as if cloud carried.
I fall to my knees in reverence, complex miracles of mundanity, this sparkling symphony, our beloved galaxy.
Phenomenon of thunder clouds banging with soul-splitting sound, rain falling from the open hand of gravity.
So tender are the leaves that raise their flags on the branches of trees, offering shade from sun's blazing heat.
Eclipsed by winter woe and longing, we lick our wounds and lay in wait for mother's womb to deliver spring.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
