Cantaloupe Dawn

a sherbet sky 

with a winter chill.

summer harvests

will follow their course

for now rest, reflect,

withdraw into long nights.

let the fields be fallow

until Spring signals us 

to prepare for planting.

Industrial Grey

rose colored glasses 

so utterly broken

each fractured piece 

splinters 

under bloody fingers

which rub frustrated eyes

forcing shards into irises

tears blur vision

lost

shuffling down hallways 

of industrial grey paint
