ADRIFT

 

Germinate them
 hope proclaims.
Dreams
spew their steam.
Contrails
lulled, a wayward breeze,
Evanesce.
Make thine own regrets.

IVORY

 

When I see those keys
grey-stained and worn
gaily played but
never more,

her song to me
and it is late

 to think of her,

 to hear her song,
one more time,  

hear her sing.
