Ella Borrie

Pillow Talk


Your nose is a spur.
The path down
from sidled, uncertain
heights.
Breath a trickle,
two streams
threading the valley floor.

BreakUp Haiku


susurrus of limbs
blanketed before the day
embed each other

evening hits hill
golden light floods horizon
a blink drains ridge dark

blossoms blow away
emptied branch soon to be green
sways with moving sky
