Side Lamp

Lamplight turns the night
to an unforgiving void
outside my window.

Long Winter

I have spent these years
hearing the wind's changing moods,
from caress to wrath;
but its frozen blade of rage
pierced me with unmelting ice.

Pickled Garlic

Six verse #rengay by @NaraMoore & @extraspecialbitter
#Wss366 5/15 bottom 5/16 sub

down to cloves of garlic
at the bottom
of the pickle barrel

seeds swirling
turmeric-green drain

sleepwalker's ballad
green flesh, green hair
eyes of cold silver

suborbital
the stars are singing
a satellite's demise

predictive markets pondering
where will the space junk land?

economic pickle
whose insider
ah, garlic rush
