Close Up

Calm, composed

Shall I look deeper?

Injured, stabbed

Rusted, scarred

Touch the wrong place and get jabbed

The surface is safe

Free Fall

Along the Window Sill by Artistic-Feet

In her mind

window ledge tiptoes

hypnotic

earth's sweet scent

free fall swan dive reverie

She wipes clean smudged glass

Come Sunset

Come sunset

hallucinations

crazy time

sundowning

reality twists and turns

not a damn haiku

Plums, cherries

Tobacco and oak

Elixir

Ruby blood

Inhale the scents of soil

Taste drops of past lives

Hands

Withered hands

Pull at her sweater

Claw buttons

Uselessly

She cries tears of frustration

Nurse asks, "What hurts, hon?"
