Strange Worship
Impromptu worship
in fur and in front of lights
deep in the strange night.

Heat
The heat from the sun
makes 10am seem as if
it's really high noon.

Pupils
She draws on my face,
pupils black and dilated,
entranced by her work.

Slip and Slide
Naked and sliding
on the slick plastic runway,
with soap up my butt.

Lighted Bridge
Pools of light cast by
a lighted bridge, and between,
a black shaft of dark.

Sunset VII
The sunset projects
bright orange on the slick surface
of wide, curving road.

Portland
Suddenly the rain
is pouring down--sound changes,
then you feel water.

Leylines
Yellow city lights,
leylines of vibrant power
from the sky at night.

Sunset VI
Into the sunset
we fly, and it seems to last
on and forever.

Flowers
Comely white flowers
hiding behind a black fence
so I can't smell them.

Happiness
She balks when I say
I'm ridiculously good.
Happiness--so rare.

Mysterious
In the still darkness
the film unfolds its beauty.
We're captivated.

Release
Something releases--
there's no weight on my shoulders.
It is quite a shock.

Life Goes On
Near the house of the
war-mongering commander,
the flowers still bloom.

The Dark
We push back the night--
only when electric lights
are off is it dark.

Worship
The rushing in
of focused, directed prayers
feels hot on our backs.
