tall, whitewashed farmhouse

tall, whitewashed farmhouse
surrounded by frosted fields
a rural palace

the clouds broke tonight

the clouds broke tonight
moonlight seeping through the cracks
mending the fault lines

naked, the trees reach

naked, the trees reach:
bony branches search the sky,
stripped of their color

blue october storm

blue october storm,
the leaves bleed yellows and reds:
water-colored fall

birds swimming as one

birds swimming as one
a dancing, dotted sculpture
shaped by rushing wind

a dream

last night the moon fell,
a flush, bejeweled dragon
thrashing at the sky

Peace, you will find her

Peace, you will find her
staring down the screaming storm
and daring to breathe
