steal moments words lost
--out of focus-- photographs
come words gone --focus--

(six words)

i don't take photographs of flowers--


(inspired by this photo : here)

then—

then—
her laughter
shattered my silence—
a faint light
flickered in darkness
as pieces of her laughter
fell—
sparkled
--reflected
danced—
touched me
--gently
let them fall
laughter
and her eyes big
–gleamed with
something else to
tell me on another day
as her nose scrunched
and the corners of her mouth
could no longer contain
her laughter

and puzzle six words

found the peace i was holding

puzzle haiku : hold syllables

hold pieces in my

fingers like syllables in

words touch fit just right

--revolving door--

--was there-- wanted to be-- life
turned around with and by--
chance and whim-- revolving door--
i've stepped out for air-- now
sit still-- right here on solid
ground dizzy hold on--
to you and watch at times--
they arrive step in and
turn out-- revolving door--
the reflections --spin
and dance-- as they come--
and go--

--revolving door--
