I have no baubles
no bangles
no beads
I lack luster
I haven’t polish enough for you
(I am not without prejudice)
I am dwindling
I must Go.

Whisky river
thoughts cascade
plunge against the rocks
splash misty vapors
feed starlit fog
all meander
struggle
find their way back home.

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