Miscellaneous May

Three little things written throughout the month of May.  Catching myself up, bear with me.

The gray--
The cottony silver-gray
Of metallic paint spilled
On a newspaper sky--
The all-encompassing blanket
That is the expanse of an onrushing storm--
The silhouette of rain on sidewalk
The glisten of precipitation on the pavement--
The fresh wild smell of ten miles up
And the stench of a northerly off the lake--
Ohh, the stirring within my soul--
As big and brave and bracing
As the steely monster beyond my blinds

"Accidental Touches"
Every move made
By you
In my
Vague direction
Is a slight congelation
A soft fluctuation
In the placement of the stars
Across the surface of the sky

The space in my arms
Breath in my lungs
And gap in my heart
Are shaped like you
