The Ring

See how it shimmers,
platinum and gold.
Closely entwined,
clinging like ivy
as I will to
your
bank account

Galvani’s Concept of Electric Current
– An electric current is produced when animal tissue comes into contact with two different metals

Destruction

Pink snow swirling down
Drifts dying in the gutters
Wind-wrecked cherry trees

Illusions

Embroidered words once
clothed my dreams but now they lie
marred beneath your feet

(with apologies to Yeats)
