Patterns

Patterns of my DNA
floating in the river
and on the dress 
in the window 
once worn by someone else

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus shedding skin
like tears from past loves
sliding into indifference
Open and bare
Surrendering to the unknown

Hope

Nice message in a box
Hanging on by strings
Reversing the flow of NOs 
Rough surface touches skin
