Elements





Oak and timber

The facades
Close
Faces
Eyelids flutter
Lines glow
Behind the shutters
                                                                     A dance with

                                                                           Dawn
                                                                           Fiery
                                                                           Start

Metal and rust

Beats of their own
Rise
From depths unknown
Rhythms heat
The ring
Before
                                                                           Moon
                                                                           And Mars

Come

                                                                           Order
                                                                           In
                                                                           All

Curves and shadows

Hands of silk
Sashay
Along the lines
Sketched
On a cotton sheet
Wrinkled
And discarded

                                                                         Wavelets
                                                                         Of wet sand
                                                                         Await the tide

Rivers and seas

The silver spoon
Dives
In caramel waters
A drop splashes
Nearby
To leave its mark

                                                                          Indelible memories
                                                                          Scatter
                                                                          In groups of
                                                                          Two

             The smoke billows and wavers under the breath of the wind
