Sonnet #1 in Iambic Trimeter
God knows we need to sleep. We’re rivers and birds, and trees. God knows we need to dream. Remember, we’re the breeze. I walk with you alone An empty street at night. Where magic things are born. Where dark creates the light. This thing I hold the most The dearest dream I have. I’ve learned…

“A Natural” I won’t say the things that I have to say, the feelings furrow all alone in the autumn mist, until you finally get up and walk away, and the chills that have eyes blow us their last, snowy, purpley kiss. I cascade over the heights of your frozen, mountaintop world. I skate upon…
