Still listening from lips,
a mute hearing with hands,
an improper metaphor.

……………………………………

In the frozen lake of eyes
a fish dies
in unread tears.

………………………………….

An upended
home of laments
in moon.

………………………………….

Imperfect proximity
of pillows.
sleep was distance apart.

……………………………..

Like poison ivy
a gnawing to itch
and an itch to gnaw.
