Last Dance

~ inspired by Natalie Portman’s “Black Swan ~

T these victimized girls
his ego’s validation

eve
his special prize

he danced her
incessantly

reaching to her again
she trembled
but went to toe

suddenly
laughing into the air
she stabbed his heart

crazed
eyes aflame
she danced
danced
and danced

wildly

unshackled —

free!

Gentle Green

 

This day begins briskly sunny
an osprey echoes our sunrise lake
we chat by morning’s window
with tea and curiosity

thoughts spill
into each other

as your soft coral lips
sculpt words
I’ve drifted

my love’s ignited
as sun
fires your gentle green eyes
