Beating tiny drums ...

Reflection
Ihate looking at you,
that reflection of me shows nothing, proves nothing,gives nothing
No hope that someday I could be

Soft snow crunches
Under rubber soles and
Forms circularglobes in
Black gloves

The fruity Chardonnay will make
white wine lovers' taste budstingle;

existing in a rhetorical"maybe,"
it scuds past vivid feathery

as if the glitter-guarded secret ...

surrounded in static.
Lost, nothing leftto lose.
Everything of me, ...

Angry shouts at the smallestthundercloud of delay, ...
