Giraffe Dingus
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
Poor lil fellow,
Small by Giraffe standards.
Stuck here behind walls,
Gates and fences,
On display to passers by
Like me.
We’re brothers,
In a way:
Both statistically small, yet
I’d take your
Below-average
Giraffe dingus
Any day.

Fruit Salad

It was thrilling to see her excitement with each new discovery
Each Farm Boy spotlight illuminated ripe treasures
Generating a frenzied flurry of purchases

Fragments
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
Drawn from the chest, the breath extracted,
Light throws the head back, hot breath exhaled.
It knows the insides, the secret places,
It burns away the remnants of complacency,
Dissolves the I, until the powdered ash is laid,
Like a shroud, over everything.

Evidence of Design
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
This watch is broken,
cracked and crushed by some unknown force,
washed up on some forgotten shore.

Elephant Leg
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
There’s a part of you
I cannot see or touch.
In the dark, alone, I know
every curve of your body.
I could sculpt you from memory.
Each detail vivid in
my mind’s eye.

Easy
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
These words were pre-ordained,
Written at the beginning of time
Without my consent or fore-knowledge,
Carved into the very fabric of time and space
For me.

Dog poison for his beloved.

Clearly
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
I don’t know what to say anymore.
The similes and metaphors have all left
And, in their place, this feeling.

Birthright
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
This eternal night dissolves,
Consumed by dawn’s desire.
The sun’s fire burns away
All remnants of yesterday.

Amber Eyes [Barney & Miles]
by Sander Roscoe Wolff ©
The cat is on the window sill,
Still for a moment,
Except for the end of his tail.
