gives its last shade
to the woodcutter

blanched almonds ...
the looking glasses
of her eyes

through the cracks
tendrils of things not said ...
winter tomb

tendrils
burgeon through the cracks . . .
winter tomb

offspring
of star-crossed lovers ...
the epitaphs

nesting birds, yet
the words 'at peace'
so final

the willow
sieving sunlight
and stillness

pretend shot put ...
the weight of the world
opens his head

water-logged worms
rise to feasting birds ...
spring downpour

catching dreams
from the sound of night ...
unspoken words

Christus Rex ...
in our beginning
and our end

winter bride
stripped bare of all
but song

passing cloud ...
a moment's grace
just like that

just shadows
now on calvary ...
rugby posts

willow leaves
sieving rivers ...
dream debris

going the distance ...
a child circumnavigates
his horizons

a tree too
bends over backwards
before its time

final call . . .
he staggers into
the wind

Written by: Stephen Bailey

dawn stillness ...
the spent passion
of night winds
