April 20th
A small man
stood
at the end of my
deserted driveway. He
held his posture
all day.
Faceless and

nature and believe
he meant what he
was implying.
Simple implications.
The Wonderful Stranger.
-
A man I always knew.
A man I never met.

Lemons and
apples, acidic
to the mouth.

What kills me the most
is how naive I was. A
child with eyes closed shut.

A scorpion’s tail

The interaction
of people. Words spread and tossed—
flames eating at trees.

Electrifying
is your stare. Bolts surge down my
spine and flames tickle.

Let’s not rush our lives,
dear, but savor each morsel.
Life—ephemeral.
