night falls hard.
deaf to the cacophony
of blinking stars.
Haikus
swallow words
only the frog knows
the meaning of sticky tongues
and swallowing words.
night fall
a red moon
hangs upon navy linen.
drop of blood upon pricked night.
hoary homicide
yellow leaf
drops like a dead moth.
flicked by icy fingers.
greener pastures
brown grass
once green with envy.
can’t take it with you.
tongue in cheek
voice like an angel
her hymns drift towards heaven.
from bloody forked tongue.
