SILHOUETTES

spirited silhouettes 

encircle the room

words unnoticed lie 

disguised upon your lips

your smile belongs 

to an another place

to breathe you in 

is to dance with grace

to breathe you out 

is to leap through space

a single gasp

implies

our last embrace

TO BE

I sit astride an albatross 
his soft feathers cushion my life,
but I am devoid of feeling, 
as I watch a drowning man
salute the sky.

         In this disconnected world

naked chaos reigns, 
survival depends on us
closing our eyes and becoming 
the message in a bottle
