blind corner

three directions of traffic
rush hour
lights change
one foot on the curb
one on the road
now?
no, wait,
a truck tears around the corner
now?
lights change
ears straining
silence
quick!

getting it under Ctrl

Ctrl + O = Ctrl + A
Ctrl + A = Ctrl + E
Ctrl + S = Ctrl + G
Ctrl + U = Ctrl + S
Ctrl + B = Ctrl + N
Ctrl + I = Ctrl + K

my work inturrupted by my unthinking habit of Word shortcuts now excuting different commands in Spanish

living alone
routine and organisation
become close companions

midnight pilgrimage

Before the shadow etched brilliance, 
Sound seeps away into the earth, 
As the gravestones cast shadows before me 
I listen to the noiseless echoes of light 
And time upon the walls.

I wish I could take credit for today's gorgeous pebble, but this is one that was given to me by one of my readers.  Lovely.  Thank you  :)

taste of home

melting milk chocolate
sliver of almond
tart, juicy raisin.
never have I held
so long on my tongue
a single square
of Cadbury's Fruit & Nut

baked potato

black and brown pepper speckles yellow melting butter in steaming white flesh.  it sits in the middle of the ceramic plate, blue-handled knife and fork poised on each side. my mouth anxious for anticipation to become reality.

camino

trees on each side arch their arms over the road
fingertips overlocking.
our headlights burrow through this living tunnel
no moon
no stars
the darkness pushes at us
trying to snuff out
even our strongest hi-beams
