A small library of night
Six poems for the hour after sunset.
Bright language against a dark sky. Choose a card, or let chance carry you to a surprise.

Lantern Season
Paper moons along the lane,
a hush of amber, slow as tea.

It does not hurry, though it goes.
It learns the stones by heart.

Atlas of Small Rooms
Here is the chair that knows your coat,
the lamp that keeps a private sun.

Poem 04
Citrus Moon
The moon comes up like sliced-open fruit,
too bright, too close, a sweet excess.

Poem 05
After the Rain
The street is new, the leaves are glass.
A bus sighs by, then silver hush.

Poem 06
Letters to the Horizon
I write to where the road goes thin,
to weather I have never met.
