Shifting Styles

Summer sunrise
old pickup truck
overgrown with daisies

AR

Bloody machete
empty holster

KB + AR

Cloud of gnats
over the puddle
steam rises

DS

Fireflies flicker
through damp air

AH

Wolves howl
a child cries
at the waning moon

AH

sister adds
new thread to the tapestry

KB

•

Fresh apple pie
reminds me
of her

AH

worms wriggling
Life in the Rot

DS

Bitten peach moon
lights
ant's last labor

KB

We carry the mountain
crumbs trail behind

DS

The wind whips up
a twister of
rose petals

DS

Perfume of the affair
blame tears on the breeze

KB

•

Comfy bed
engulfs my body
depression sets in

AH

No motivation
to see eye to eye

AH

Dead trees
lit
by a pale moon

AH

Shrew shimmies off
echoes of hibernation

KB

Spring awakens
the ground hog rises
to the beautiful blossoms

AH

Returning to the den
a chill in the air

DS
