Silk snowmelt sun
pokes up in pale sky.
Blue scilla buds spun
from frost's last dye.

Firmament
Stone tracery flows
across a vaulted

to hold fast the sky
in a steady
eye

the nights have dawn in
a wash of carbon black and rain
with tears of ocean salt
scattered on the sky
gathering the last of light

Against Windfall What if a field & its lone mare were rescued from stereo lust, saved from a city's oildark vibrato? The throneless monarch inviting me thigh-deep. In spite of the last bend—lavender meaning girlhood outlives terror. All the world’s missives, hushed till the first pines rise white. To love the taste of you more matters like any mothered joy. I’m disowned, sun-stalked arabesque— the yolk between brief wings, eyes of the hawk —raised to waves outside my common nature. Vikki C.
"In spite of the last bend—lavender
meaning girlhood outlives terror."
'Against Windfall' — a new nature themed poem.
Thank you for reading 🤍

On a Prague street
Old tram tracks
through the town —
once warm footprints
in fossil sand

A public square named Malostranské náměstí (literally “lesser town square”) in sunset as seen through a stone arch. Malostranské náměstí, Prague, 9 Jun 2025. Nikon D5600, Nikkor DX 35 mm ƒ1.8G, ISO 400, ƒ5.6, -0.7 ev, 1/2000s
Little town square
A #poem
Sunset paints red tile rooftops.
Tourists tarry on the square.
A far-off church bell chimes once.
The fireflies wink in the night.
