My Sweetheart
Sleeping Beauty
My sweetheart lies in bed
Her blonde hair spread out over her silk pillowcase.
What will she dream tonight?
I wish her Akhal Teke horses, golden in the sun
Playing chase with them, loving them,
I wish her dreams of dog friends, old and new,
And in this world where dreams are true,
I wish her health, legs that run, arms that reach,
To touch and stroke and love and dance
And be all she can be.

The Easy Job
Sheets of bank paper float on drafts of air. Wind rushes from vacant spaces where glass panes used to be. Last images of a life lost. The bank manager's eyes stare at me from where he fell on the floor. His mouth moves slightly in desperate gasps for air, he won't get. A lake of red expands across marble tiles. All of his tomorrows are gone, and so are mine.
