after Spring rains, puddles throw reflections of light-fringed clouds.
After the Rain [Haiku]

the sun is low,
but then it never gets high
this time of year.
Bohemians gathered around the absinthe bottles, the light hitting the bottles shone a radioactive shade of green. That green light threw blotches against walls & floors & people & anything else there was to illuminate. The more they drank, the less green the mottling -- not because the empty glass was clear, & didn't refract, or spray green, but because the splotches turned every color -- every color there is -- and the colors danced around the increasingly amorphous surfaces. Until, at last, everyone was asleep, and visions of Green Fairies danced in their dreams.

sun shimmer
in a dense patch looks like
a sheet of ice.

a writhing dragon,
is painted by the sunset
in vivid colors.
