faded doll,
old memories
shelved
Ryan Stone

too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words…
faded doll,
old memories
shelved
Ryan Stone

fuchsia sunset
so far from the city
of her birth
Ryan Stone

displaced
by myriad fault lines
we fracture
Ryan Stone

midnight wind,
howling through the caverns
of my mind
Ryan Stone

beyond the gate
where sea meets sky
—tomorrow
Ryan Stone

after the storm
while staring at puddles—
a rainbow
Ryan Stone

fractured sunlight
creeping through my shutters
new year outside
Ryan Stone

far horizon,
a golden vessel
sailing the dawn
Ryan Stone

his vital smile
and untroubled eyes
—enlistment photo
Ryan Stone

settling dusk
a boy and his dog
leaping shadows
Ryan Stone
