Ann Privateer

 

Smiling At Midnight

 

Smiling flowers

Red and green

Going home

From the store

Over the weekend

To sweep away

Catastrophe

For moments

At dinner with a friend

That knows.

 

 

Tonight and Today

 

Under whelmed

Sleepy eyed

 

Set the table

Draw the curtains

Dinner at midnight

Or is it breakfast?

 

 

Moments

 

worlds wage peace

barriers at night

no hiding place

 

so be happy

the best is yet

to be, big moments

tethered to midnight

 

ears wide open

well-being leaps

into dreaming

together

at last.
