Ingénue
Raindrops –
steel drums, belting
roof tops.
Loud beats
unheard beneath
white sheets
where two
hearts shed one last
taboo.
Ryan Stone
Fledgling
after the dance
her questioning hands—
is this your first time?

Abyss 5-7-5
Slipping her shackles
she launched into the abyss;
virgin wings unfurled.
