on a withered vine
handfuls of grapes still alive
in the freezing rain

***  

cold weather cruisers
gunmetal gray clouds
ships above us

***  

their beautiful baby
soon after the wedding
but who’s counting

resilient

bougainvillea seeds,
resilient and wild; they’ve
mastered the alters

concealed

The beats of ocean
buried in a dew as feels of
blue sky in a cloud

imperative

Strong are the roots
which are in a relation
with impenetrable rocks

detached

That dew on the leaf;
there, just ’cause it has to
not there, since shaken off
