CAMOUFLAGE
her witch’s cloak a little
black dress she felt eyes
hug her curves deflect
from her vulnerabities

Your tall story

(what a mighty fall)

we found your passion, beating, flaming
and true.

Tempus Fugit
Time unravels quickly around me.
Sand sifting through grasping fingers.
I reach for a moment, but it slips away.
How did I get here?
