Hirings in bad faith,
No warning, lightning layoffs,
Die Centricity!

Rosy pink glow that
Diffuses the bitter frost
Of past loneliness.

Second bloom of spring:
Young thorns shorter but sharper.
New rose joins older.

Still waters run deep
Rife with submergéd dangers
Left from some winter.

Dark fall thunder storm
Incinerates twin oaks yet
Ashes bud new growth.
