* amor vincit omnia *

Memory

With familiar whiff of fresh
a stranger brushes past.
Sudden, I'm surrounded by
someone I once loved.

Transformation

In slimming black, her back to me
she stands, a talking
caterpillar with rolls
beneath bra strap
belt and
waistband.

Around her head
butterfly hair
flutters into flight.

Night, Autumn

Moon rises golden over
this quiet corner of
dark city.

From deep shadow,
a shape
glimmers
then closes lamplight eyes
and disappears.
