Refractions


This fog bleeds grey and soft

cold sky breathes light

drops of silver rain



each fragile orb

clings an endless while

and of the universe sings



Such are our thoughts

—they pass through time

shimmer and yet gleam



long after the droplets

fall to earth to lie 

quiet and unseen

Preaching Enchantment to the Choir about Khashoggi



screen shots
pause thoughts
mid-sentence inflection
furrows a brow
puffs cheeks

sly words
frame history
cheat death

clean rhetoric
antiseptic
to the filth 
of consequence
 
truth
a flea
on a poodle

caught and rolled
between opposable thumb
and index finger

okay

flat flea
full of blood
