in a fragile mind
set within the broken whole
beautiful pieces
Cage
we all are mortal
beauty epithelial
bones our heartbeats cage
Bindweed
uninvited she
sinuous entwining blooms
another beauty
Sylvan
sylvan spring her charms
flourishing inviolate
adorned by sunlight
Snowdrop
shy they orphaned spring
of winter born and bearing
their birthright beauty
Sunset
cold the sunset sky
rose gold and ever paling
love and beauty die
Tempura
the gleaming water
floral snow tempura threads
winter’s graceful gown
Regret
remorseless winter
shivering beauty echoes
crystalline regret
