Tea swimming
through cracked lips,
a scowl. The smell of
sage mixed with burning
dust, her clothes creased
and decades old. Another sip
and groan, eyes trained
to look for the worst.

Razor Burn [poem #434]
Sun glows on crisply tanned skin
an adjustment of her bikini
razor burn and lonely patches
of hair still visible. Hands through
her hair, giving the best angle,
eyes half-mooned by thick
sunglasses looking for
entertainment.

Prickly Needles (poem #433)
Prickly needles,
green body thick and dry
rooted in sand and rubble.
A lonely hawk circles above,
enticed by a scampering
shadow, he descends,
perching atop the
prickly needles.
Thank you for reading!

Sea Void (poem #432)
Sea void, swallow me
open ocean pull and break
the words ready to break
free from my mouth.
Thank you for reading!

Leaf (poem #431)
A leaf spins in the wind,
caught and torn, it flutters
to the ground, resting,
it’s green body shimmers
in the light, already beginning
to diminish and die.
Thank you for reading!
