coldness changes the numbers
on digital clock
in his dream, by the fireplace
softly rustling of her dress

Troubles With The Sun

perhaps someone above

caught the sun in jump

but never a sunset catcher

Midsummer

smell of gyros
in a salty air
midsummer

pockets
full of sand
in the moonlight

on a shore
rejoicing in the morning sun
forgotten scarf

salty drops
on the skin
midsummer

While they sleep

a night sky
lovingly woven blanket of stars
over two sleepy fawns

Mishmash

mad dream
instead of angels
foreign guide

still I try to confuse
painter under my hat
