sky tercet series

sky 1

the sky - Monet
riding a white stallion -
gallops before the storm


sky 2

the sky -N.C. Wyeth
pirating a pink nimbus -
sails the sunset ship


sky 3

the sky - Van Gogh
waving a thousand crow wand -
turns to thunder


sky 4
the sky - Edward
Hopper realist - refuses
rain -prefers shadows


dog's ears silk
on my fingers
coffee brewing



girl in black T-shirt
studded with silverwings
today she glitters
dark angel
in a dark room



one grumpy
tangerine sunrise
hope of spring




birdsong pierces
dawn neongreen splits
vision time warps
the lemon
moon




poemglow
green moonwing
I'm dreaming
only of sadness
and sleep



letting go
of things that once
belonged to ghosts like
empty silver bowls filled
with the girl I used to be



indigo morning
the crow's hollow voice
wingbone on the wind
