chain

a sensual audible "slishing"
of links slipping into line
sliding across my skin
cold steel capturing

new moon

i dream of you before the new moon
a waxing sliver of light in the night
marking another week without you
telling me of distance in time and place

yells heard from the kitchen
marks the end of the dream
wakes me to the reality of here
wish i was there wherever you are
