Music of doubts

and hesitations caress
the cranium plunge
and ripple inward
the simplest question
opens its petals
again
moonlight pits the
steps a new blue
has been invented/discovered
a roundelay circles
back the raised torch
illumines the cave
O wonder

Snow opera

adieu material obsessions
swept from the path
phone date with generous
E on day of gladitorial
absurdity over

immobile and stuporous
page after page of colored
pills to produce
beautiful feelings we
speak and think in
states of margot

contemplate pink betrayals
