There was something rather blousy about roses in full bloom, something shallow and raucous, like women with untidy hair.
~Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca
Eyes of water
Unspilled
Beheld
The grace
In your unloved
Shadows
Golden leaf
Chill slain
Wings murmur
Sent to stone
Shorn
Last sigh
In an arbour
Of bone
“Her deep and damp smile could feed the gardens on the edge of this town.”

Clingman's Dome: Highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at 6,643 feet above sea level.
Darkness owned
The months
Time froze
Entangled
With the heartbreak
Of a winter coffin
As I slumped
Into your recliner
Smoking your last
Cigarettes
Hearing your bones
Cry gratitude
For the morphine
I pumped
And remorse
For the lost years
Surrendering to soulful disarray
along the twisted pathway to tranquility.

errant leaf skipping
ahead on the gravel path
awaiting uplift
