quoined by what was paved
archaeology of the caved
where roots abound
in the slow growth of brave
why not aim their splays
toward deeper ground?
than twist the life
from ill-spent days
~
i am the leaf that strays
on a warm breeze
subtle caress
hem of life’s
embroidered dress
seeking the ingress
of love’s true face
