crescent moon
in the mid-way
sky
in her
loneliness
she counts the
stars
thickening
shadow of the night
**** **** ****
along the shore
life blooms as if
to float again…
kids collect empty shells
refilling sand with smiles
**** **** ****
rough border
the breeze carries
the fragrance
of the morning flowers
across the rusted wires
**** **** ****
warm ecstasy
of a mysterious journey
transgender
closely watches the first fruit
ripened for Adam and Eve
***** ***** *****
joyful whales
on the silvery surface
calmness of the sea
shockingly discovers
thick splits of blood
layers
**** **** ****
the bud
yet to see the sunlight
in foggy morning
she steps ahead
into the pain of frozen evening
