falling tears
shatter my face—
dawn tide pool
Ryan Stone
Broken
Whisper
in the Wheatbelt
sharp grain ears listen…
wind-song
Ryan Stone
Storm
on my window
fat raindrops tom-tom
distant thunder
Ryan Stone
sub-rosa
on black satin sheets
she gives herself to the moon—
rose petals and thorns
Ryan Stone
Harmony
forest twilight
insubstantial geisha—
Komorebi
Ryan Stone
Hollow
silk corner cobwebs
entwine yesterday’s dry husks,
bloodless and rotting
Ryan Stone
Fledgling
after the dance
her questioning hands—
is this your first time?
Ryan Stone
Priceless
At the garage sale
Cherished toys in an old box
A man asks, how much?
Ryan Stone
Vigil
A shift in focus—
This whole, bright world reflected
In her dark window
Ryan Stone
Swan song
How many blue jays
Singing the morning, to hide
Her departing breath?
Ryan Stone
days of stone
