Cloudless night

A cloudless night
A sliver
of moon
A banking plane
flying low
blinking red light
Wing clips
the moon 
it tilts 
falls back
into place
The little boy
sees it
Never
will again 

Fingernails

Her fingernails
red nail polish
she’s always chewing
on her 
red nail polish
she had a tooth fixed
in her smile line
her smile line
the sky line
grey and cold
her skinny legs
the sky line
grey and cold
