Heartless vacancy
soul ignites, ready to stimulate
a shoot-off, up, into the vein
brains paint floral decorations
on walls and fine china,
you took it all away
but gave me so much more.
Writer in San Francisco, CA

Slid into heaven
Thanks to raven wings and bones
It is a dark room
Scattering of beads, thunder
I wake in the morn
