She waits.
Starlight
appears
now. Then
she cries
softly
alone.

She waits.
Starlight
appears
now. Then
she cries
softly
alone.
Chagall 2016
She wipes her tears away
a soft fold of white tat
lace doesn’t daub well
merely smears the sadness
she feels, has always felt
She’d rather it rain down
blow a hole inside her soul
hollow out the echoes once again
blues – nothing but blues wash her
away to find lost paradise
Chagall 2016
The hot water of the shower spray
feels great on her face, after
an all-night cry
Who knew such
a recurring but
fleeting thought
could provoke so
many tears?
Under the mist
she promises
herself today
will be no different
Chagall 2016
Her tears
in moonlight
Mercury atop
cocoa velvet
