train
things were not the same
she boarded a slow train south
trying to find home
drift
consciousness shifted
to peripheral vision
momentarily
current
dipped in stardust
daredevils catch downdrafts
flown on the wind's wings
peacock
all window dressing
the male peafowls strut their stuff
females, they aren't fools
hedge
she shielded herself
from cold, the know it all's
right into loneliness
temper
tempered by heat
walking mean streets for a living
softened by real love
jewelry [box]
pearl moons from the sea
trinkets spilling over in waves
her remembrances
soften
sun the color of butter
melting through curtains
contagious the smiles
magnanimity
heart like a whorehouse
always open and inviting
a grand soul
luck(y)
a penny or kiss
shamrocks never fail
to turn us hopeful
hover
levitate or loiter
but don't stand too close to me
hang around awhile
fabric
those red stars in galaxies
far beyond rainbows
are my ancestors
