Chiseled Cheese
playground
little girl bleeds
from her scrapped knee
fallen birds egg
fries on the steaming asphalt
children's laughter
from the
darkened alley
defeated clothesline
flowery lingerie rains down
moonlight floods
through the trees
reflects off the rippling puddle
dawn slowly smiles
over rain-washed bra
•
scratched record
sighs-forgotten
dusty attic floor
frayed edges
of wedding day pictures
burned afghan
the victim when
secret affairs unfold
her soft skin
the smell of vanilla
divorce papers
collect dust
the make-up was awesome
new orange juice
fresh from concentrate
•
moonlight on the sand
the remains of
yesterday's sandcastle
single tattered sketcher
whipped on the highway
orange sunrise
over the newly
harvested field
grass indents where
warm bodies once layed
rose colored cheeks
flower in her hair
the first date
father's shotgun
dampers the mood
•
peanut butter and jelly
cookie covered hands
the life
the smell of mother's lasagna
my favorite meal
she sits on the curb
and wipes a tear
from her eye
down the street
the couple walks hand in hand
the child
she once knew
walks away
in the dead of night
the wolf cries
•
ice-skating hand in hand
the perfect snowflake
lands on her nose
math class
scribbles twist into hearts
drug store perfume
decades later
floods with memories
the smell of cigarettes
lingers on his breath
prom night
sky bound silver orb
chiseled cheese
torn cushion
on his motorcycle
•
the last drink
of the night
leaves no boundaries
she sit and waits
for her phone to ring
office drones
staples simultaneously
clockward glances
heavy wind
loosens her braid
end of the season
dog chows down
on hydrangeas
pink horizon
down the gravel road
