Smooth Sands
the crumbs of stars
erode into smooth sands
count the age of time
litter suburban streets
whip the world around
in clouds of burning grey
until all that’s left
is scattered on
or contained under
ground
“Smooth Sands” by Meaghan Merrifield
Thought Through
eyes illuminate
below the calculated flicks of elongated lashes
bold brows raise sharply
in a delicate distraction
as fragile fingers begin
to put into play
plans half-thought through
“Thought Through” by Meaghan Merrifield
Beauty Blooms Bold
beauty blooms bold
with a sweeping growth
so great
yet tendrils turn treacherous
as the hours become late
in an indulgent dance
they engulf the heads
they once meekly adorned
each prickly bite
unable to satiate
the aching hunger of a soul scorned
“Beauty Blooms Bold” by Meaghan Merrifield
Drag Slow
opaque eyes
come to close
as the right
sick from the salted flesh of the left
retches
yearns for rest
while days
burdened by their broken toes
drag
slow
-Meaghan
Smooth Superiority
smooth superiority
rusts in a steaming haze
bloats
until it explodes
