They swept the frozen surface
Again and again.
Shouts rang out
Across the white expanse.
It slid towards them with
Unstoppable force: a rock thrown
With a feather touch.
Plaster Faces
The candles flickered in the gloom.
She came here often.
The clink of a coin in the metal box
Echoed loudly. The plaster faces
Looked at her with compassion
As she sat on the hard wooden bench.

Maybe this time.
It happened every time.
Didn't she know how he felt?
He tried to ask before
But couldn't.
She walked by without seeing.
All he could see was her.
He cleared his throat
And raised his eyes.
Maybe this time.

Each Little Card
Golden harmony, honey butterfly,
Canary yellow: which will it be?
Each little card holds
The promise of happiness and
Perfection.
So many choices,
And too much commitment.
Wait a minute.
How about sky breeze,
Or azure mist, or sunrise
Blue?
