The Message Collector.

“Recycling Day” by Toni Tiu (https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/toni-tiu)

The message collector is here.
The air rattles and clinks
with calls for help,
declarations of love,
promises to ourselves.
Once a week
they are scooped up,
mosaicking in brief shiny fragments,
to be forged anew.

Ebbing

You let go gently
like softly collapsing sand,
impressions fading with each step,
leaving a dying warmth
of soft burnt orange
hanging in the air.
