Long Shadows stretch,
Thin and muted,
Reaching through the
Leafy archway.
...
Dappled shadows lay on
Uneven wood chips—
A nearly empty
Swingset and one
...
Chalk dust
Under fingernails
Scribble-covered chalkboards
white on green
...
Some say you are evil
But others wonder
Maybe we're all just
Misunderstanding
...
Love.
A flame so strong, only
Time can quench it.
...
Raw passion,
Pure flame;
The world stops turning,
Stops twirling again.
...
A web of water plays over my knee.
I stand, lather, scrub.
Soap clings to my naked body;
I scrub harder.
...
