Morning at Camp Quietude

There was something rather blousy about roses in full bloom, something shallow and raucous, like women with untidy hair.

errant leaf skipping

ahead on the gravel path

awaiting uplift

Surrendering to soulful disarray

along the twisted pathway to tranquility.

~Camp Quietude

[azurestone9]

Darkness owned

The months

Time froze

Entangled

With the heartbreak

Of a winter coffin

As I slumped

Into your recliner

Smoking your last

Cigarettes

Hearing your bones

Cry gratitude

For the morphine

I pumped

And remorse

For the lost years

[azurestone9]

Golden leaf

Chill slain

Wings murmur

Sent to stone

Shorn

Last sigh

In an arbour

Of bone
