The deer emerges from the dark forest bitten by light and shutters in a scurry hoping to blend into the abyss of green and brown that mists across the rambling terrain fearful to be taken down by shot or arrow or the watchful eye of stalking prey— makes swift and heft of night and day a breeze, a dream he slips away. ©Jay Mora-Shihadeh Photo credit- Pexels

Love Come Back #Poetry
Tell me all the ways to love you today
the bridal bouquet has stopped producing
the answers that feed your love lost heart,
unripened, fallowed, the veins filled with dirt.
How do I bring it back? Will blood run free
and wild again? The light evades dark and
berries redden their face in waste, as black racers
and woodpeckers attempt to invade.
Love come back and show me the way.

Mangroves and Sludge #Poetry
The door shuts to the sounds
of buzzing motors, annoyed
he frets and violently shoves
the trash to the ground
Clouds hold heavy
the wet, the humid, the gray
sopped up blankets
waiting to break
Shifts in the sandy soil
dotted, speckled in motor
oil, he frowns about
the days ahead, to drown
This shit is real
as light is vacuumed
into the underground
seal, flecked with gold
Grates continue to hold
as gators mount and wail
beneath mangroves and sludge
fornicating in the deep saline mud.
