Kitsch

Kitsch: art, objects, or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way.

recognition
that simple glance
a slight brush
against your skin

and you're reminded
of a time ... not too long ago
when you dreamt
deeply

Design
a fabric pattern; or
deliberate intention
the universe
... and a solitary ant
trudging,
morsel on its back
homeward bound

Hope
and mystery
weave in endless
minutes that meld
one into another;

Repetition and
metamorphosis
borne unto the days
like Siamese twins

Control
Tightrope walking
on an endless road
when will it end?

Sleep
beckons; dreams
to reckon with
it's a new day tomorrow
let me be transformed
in slumber
