Skyline [Haiku]

from across the bay,
the skyline looks dim; then, it's
glowing on your face.

Speakeasy Stained-glass [Free Verse]

The light of a streetlamp
Streams through the stained glass,
And colors spread stably
Over surfaces below.

Then car after car
Pass by that bar,
And the colors are
Climbing and crawling,
Shifting and sprawling,
As headlamp light, briefly,
Dances through the window --
Kaleidoscope swirling the
Shockingly bright colors
In short-lived arcs.

The window was designed
To evoke a cathedral,
And deny all debauchery...

Oh, how it's failed.
