Adoration is always seeing as beautiful

she rides
quite skateboard swift
lime green wheels
humming
chattering
against rough pavement

holding
2 flourescent tubes
taped loosely together
in her hand
3 foot lengths of glass
in her hand
as she skims the street

if that is fragile
then what is lingering love
that stands
so
unrequited
on the sidewalk

Dark, heavy
Eyes bleak
Bare
and
Blurry.

Sweat from his brow
The pant
Of the day
Lingering in his lungs.

Time stops
When you let it.
When you let the mud and muck of days past
Sink
In.

He dreams of sleep.

quickly nervous fingers
flustering at buckles
a frustration of
ribbon
suddenly yielding up
sweet fruit
first taste to last
an always delight
