A shift in focus—
This whole, bright world reflected
In her dark window
Ryan Stone
Vigil
Projection
Buttered popcorn ghosts
Haunt first-kiss back row shadows,
Our movie house closed
Ryan Stone
Swan song
How many blue jays
Singing the morning, to hide
Her departing breath?
Ryan Stone
Alaska Rose
Chasing after leaves
Tossed by small summer twisters
To be a puppy
Ryan Stone
Exhaling
A brief romance ends
Breath swept away on the wind
Bound for distant squalls
Ryan Stone
Afterglow
The candle burns low
I read while you doze, outside
The wind and the world
Ryan Stone
The Dry
Cooling on the porch
Dragonflies in silhouette
Short night, summer moon
Ryan Stone
Aurora
An ocean away
Yesterday’s sun always shines
In Colorado
Ryan Stone
Beginnings
Bergamot morning
Sashays in through my window
Coffee, a new year
Ryan Stone
Down Under
Summer butterflies
By the young maple, care not
A year is ending
Ryan Stone
days of stone
