Half a life
Tree snapped
in two at the trunk

Half-life
Tree snapped
in two

Half a tree
A life snapped
in two

Black coffee
City lights
along the coast

Black coffee
Fireflies
along the marsh

Alone
Frog sounds on a
cold night

Carrying cappuccino
Watching the
morning surf

Foggy morning
Love me
softly

A beauty at rest
Red bench
on the wet cobblestone

Dirty sink
Bolted to a
dirty wall

Horseback
Running fast on
wet leaves

Barefoot at night
Climbing down
the cold metal ladder

Weathered fence
Perfume bottles
in colored glass
