2017.08.26: awareness

all along the path
unexpected surprise shows
when eyes are open

2017.08.25: tarrying

train crossing lights halt
long funeral procession
ghost train never shows

2017.08.24: shattered clay

vessels formed of earth
normally smooth and pleasing
draw blood when broken

2017.08.23: voice

lyrical violin
weaved into song’s tapestry
carries melody

2017.08.22: sticky

steamy humid day
clothes feel like second layer
time to peel off skin
