Velvet leopard print

helps keep rowdy diners on

their best behavior

-o.o-

Salvia

Hidden in the green

medicinal, magical

so the old wives say

-o.o-

Reach

Some few hardy souls

hair’s breadth from the center’s light

wait for grace’s bridge

Party Lights

Conversation flows

dancers sway to Elvis tunes

on the other side

Smooch

the scariest clown face

puckers up and tries to plant

one on some kid’s cheek

-o.o-

Attuned

Scanning the skies for

an urgent trancemission to

initiate growth

-o.o-

Armor Plated

Pebbled texture moves

the air like heavy syrup

lifts its bulk aloft

I don’t quite see why

these should be so popular

that’s one hairy leg

-o.o-

Goldeneye

Solitary bee

sees its heaven everywhere

honeycomb vision

-o.o-

Lemon

ten pips tucked inside

waiting for wedges to form

chasing blues away

-o.o-
