  • I, The Tired Moon

    I, The Tired Moon

  • This Sand

    This Sand

    This Sand   This sand, Tiny bits of earth and rock, Marking paths through thickets. This ground, stomped flat By those in search of berries, Ambling lovers With secrets in flowers.   This sand, Tiny bits of earth and rock, Creating mosaics and desert dust Under hot sun, A bed…
