gazing at a featureless sky
not a single point of light
no clouds are bubbling by
even a moon cannot be found
I trust that the same universe
abides indifferent to my view
gazing at a featureless sky
not a single point of light
no clouds are bubbling by
even a moon cannot be found
I trust that the same universe
abides indifferent to my view
The dead do not say- I love you
Thirty years
You are a dark picture
A fly sits on you
What can be said
Next to this silence
No matter what,
The dead do not say
I love you.

By the ocean
I softly, elegantly fly
until I am swallowed
by the waves
creation crashes in
on me.
dusk –
an outbreak of stars
on tidal waves

because this may be
the last time
I sing this song
sincerely and reverently
into open air
alive in this place
that knows my stride
through braided seasons
seemingly without end
I sing
as the cardinal
opens the day
radiant in golden hue
I sing for you
as the song dances on air
filling the intervals between
sound and silence
I sing
because this time
shall be unlike any other
echoing in the place
memory reserves as its own
Something has invaded
My psyche
Playing love songs
To my ego
Clawing its way
To the frontal lobe
As it masturbates my mind
From shallow waters to
Exultant jubilee
Making deals
Of quid pro quo
Words unread
With a half moon smile
Blurring the lines
A closed button hole
With a commanding voice
To like the page
Or blood will flow
From hatchets
Without a face
The neighborhood changing
Cut and paste
Sow a seed
Plant a tree
Water and soon
Reap the growth
Leave it be
Fend for self
Watch the weed
Cocoon
A
Tree
