Poetic Interlude: Imminent Deluge

Iridescent clouds cresting mountaintops

Made ominous

Simile defiant

Drifting ever toward

Dissipation

Poetic Interlude: Anticipation

Anticipation

Pomegranate ripening

High and rosy out the window

Promising the coming Fall

Poetic Interlude: On Guilt

Guilt, whatever

its pigmentation

or lack thereof

Cannot heal wounds

of any depth

Does not pay bills

Poetic Interlude the Fourth

American Flag

Awaiting a breath

Limping above the grinds

Daily abandon

Obscured by prominence

Sidelined grated greatness

Perhaps to pasture

…..

But fluttered!

Still

Cymbalic
