Sharks in the Living Room

A cozy armchair
invited lavish fellowship
under sweet blossoming
shade
of false-promises
The hum of
circling sharks
felt distant

~dMarie

Plunge boldly
Embrace anarchy
Welcome flight

~ dMarie

Birds soar along-side
globes of air lifting effortlessly
her hopes and dreams toward
the setting sun glowing
red and gold on
calm waters…

Weighted by reality
her toes dip
variably
into the reflective waters below

~ dMarie

A single light casts
onto the incandescent
graveyard
of the un-ignitable

~dMarie

Deafening echos of
predator and prey

Always the same
in different ways

~dMarie

Kicking in time to the
ticking in her mind
the wake carries away
all her doubts

~ dMarie

You’re under the wood
table… boogeyman still sees you
Stand up and scare him

~ dMarie
