a series of poems

1. heart attack
jolts through the system;
shock
sets
in (numb)
blood vessels expand &
contract at the sight of
dried fluid's remnants

2. in the skies;
yellow stars sparkle &
diamonds glisten;
impurities within color.
only accept transparency.

3. celestial bodies of
night light shine
on town's night life,
cars don't stop

(their lives
are the emergency
to tend to first)

4. deconstructed intentions
collapse. Your feet of
clay have crumbled; bodies of
pyrite may be stronger
than gold, but
they're worthless.

5. wash away
& clean up litter
in the streets quickly;
congestion
impedes upon progress
