let’s celebrate the
new decade,
dusting off old dreams
in exchange for
better visions.
lighting gold sparklers,
our eyes will burn
as December dies
away.

lighting gold sparklers,
our eyes will burn
as December dies
away.
a baby deer leans
over glossy evergreen—
white winter divine.
A little lantern light flickers,
while the sun slips out
for dusk to sneak in
and steal away
the last of the
wavering
day gleam.
like Chinese fantails,
we flow—to and fro—between
our breaths and heartbeats.
Bits of foliage
fall together at
the focal point of
your world,
crowding your vision—
flowing with
rhythm.
we listen to leaves.
as green morphs into orange,
redstarts scurry south.
topaz briolettes daunt your dressing room table.
vintage flamingo print wallpaper gushes color.
a spritz of Chanel claims the sorbet sky.
patio umbrellas outside wait to crinkle.
the girl in you seizes the yellow backdrop,
greeting a slice of doorway morning sunshine.
like a succulent,
her heart requires sunlight
and water to thrive.
Fire crackles
a moonlit knoll.
We wish; we wait
for the kindling
to lose control—
like lost embers,
short of gold.
young roses curl white.
incoming shine enshrouds love.
wind huffs bottles west.
