Cherry Blossoms

outside
my window
cherry blossoms bloom

Eating Eternity

crack
the balot
at the flat.

gently
remove shells
from eternity's truth.

in
three moves:
suck… bite… bite.

Twenty minutes to Perfection

twenty
minute(s)
to cooked perfection.

twenty-eight
days for
pecking, strutting ambulation.

just
a fraction
for aphrodisiac construction.

Floating Balot

two
out of
twelve. that's all.

to
float, to
fly, nearly impossible.

why?
why only
some, not all?

flying,
swimming debris
of duck embryos

just
a careless
look at time.

birthdays

M:
miss
the days
when I aged

A:
when
everyone made
a terrible fuss

M:
ice
cream cradled
between lips, tongue

A:
candles
glowing for
a moth's notice

M;
miss
the mortality,
the everyday changes.
