I printed some cards
once for identity
but when I read the words
did not recognize
the description they
bore.

I’m standing in the rain
waiting on a slow train.
Nobody in these grey streets
today.

Your work rises
before you
A beacon shining
through dense fog
Sirens whisper
Light Symphony.

Of book strewn
floors I say
step soft wherever
words may slumber.

I crouch beside you
before dropping coins
into your empty cup
I question
you answer
only our eyes
speak a common language.
Step slide
lead then follow
rhythm in time
ghost shadow.

soft shadow possibility
forever lurking inside
hardened walls of ages.

Moments unexpected
quiet ones
more stir than startle
a breath or blink
a between.
Pause mid-step—
my Elixir.
Pencil on paper. Images arise. Message received.
