(2013)
Tempered breaths, lids sink, sealed, Solid spine, grounded deep. Hubbub hushed,
Cloaked in cloud, milky fullness, gleams but is not seen. A silvery shepherd,
Subdued and moonless, breaks the dawn, delivering the year; boisterous gloom, percussing panes,
As if a storm cloud burst. Leaves… Plumes of them across the sky. Bu… Hazy colours. Crimson, orange, go… past. Delicately brushing my face,… my senses. Such a beautiful scene,…
Synchronised elementally, attuned thoughts, raging solemnly. Ripping through trees, throwing leaves,
Dewy twilight fell outside, transparent breeze crept in, washing over all. Midnight hours swallowed; a shared,

Lucid luminosity, fully unveiled, clockwork timed, light of minds; haze of day
Soft morning rays, pierced the pan… Dimmed by jack-frost’s rain. Accompanied by a tabby cat, the Tailor snipped and snapped, on show - in the window.

Day’s brightest star alights upon… breaking the horizon. He wakes; black mane, tainted auburn, sheening as he snuffles, shuffles,
Both wrapped up tightly in what se… our wardrobes in their entirety. Up to our blushing noses and cheek… trying to keep out the bitter, bit… Our breath, like clouds, disappear…
