Pandemic broke out
people loving each other
I hope there’s no cure

Life’s cause to cherish
every drop of oxygen
racing through my blood

God twirls each navel,
Mom told me, while he exclaims
You are finished – next!

From this pedestal
all I can see are bald spots
air’s thinner here too

The world awakens
a fresh day to age and die
unsuspecting life

Newborns are certain
though you’ll never hear them say
heaven imparts love
Life’s best without words
mere symbols get in the way
poets be forewarned
Name it to lose it
stepped aside by one degree
objects lose their shape
Conform to design
preconceived notions thwart us
maya at the turn
Like distant cousins
what once was plain as the day
lost in the shuffle
© Chagall, 2013
A trace of night mist
settles on the white birch boughs
Autumn calls you home

In three-quarter time
we dance about shuttered rooms
spiral lost dark waltz

Can you smell the pine?
Needles all about the ground
Earth is so loamy

Lightning-gales on wing
alight about eventide
too tired yet to sing
