Cereal

slicing banana
to put in the cereal
recalling mornings
grandparents shared bananas
in quiet companionship

Adding Rings

the sun dipping low
highlights the trunks of tall trees
hinting at the need
for structure, consistency
continuous unfolding

Heartbeat

every heartbeat has
a soaring spike, then a dive
electricity
racing dizzily along
fibers that will die one day

Sunset

near to the solstice
a gash across the twilight
sunset spurting blood
she stops to write about it
and looks up to find it gone
