December Sun

The Waterfall's Acceptance

Night's Like These

Lost Atmosphere

What If?

rock and love song

Jacuzzi

Tabasco

Christopher's Lullabye

Turning Four

Always Room for Presence

An Exercise of Existence

To Validate a Belief

The Obstacle

Five Hundred Pieces

Nights Like These

It starts with a clap
a flash
a distant sound of despair.

one mississippi
two mississippi
three mississippi

Fireflies marvel
at the electricity
searching for shelter
in the open air.

one mississippi
two mississippi

A child scrambles
in three directions at once
finds protection
in her mother's arms.

one mississippi

In the heart of the heart
of a hot summer's eve
fiery storms like these
are beauty in disguise.
