Moonrise

By Kirk Gothier

A Palace of Fine Arts

Fills our windows.

Smoldering curves

Unbridle the ages.

Only a fictional ruin

Sizzling Pacific Halibut Bite off Eureka, Trinidad

'Given These Songs'

Shut Down but Maybe Not Out

Chop Up Italian Salsa Verde

Thoughts on Winning

Could hold back,

As the moon rises

And all decorum

Abandons us.
