Boule-Face Lie

Do everyone’s sesame seeds fall off
or only mine?

Getting Late

I am unable to breathe
having an anxiety attack
I want so bad want to
dress in time to make it
outside before the sun sets

Some Decanted Evening

I wondered why until
one day wonder flew away

I prayed for peace through
peaceful prayer

We are blessed
by the blessings we choose

Wonderment is always
there – et voilà!

Scale

The earth is a fungal patch
buried deep within the anatomy
of a colossal being.

And we?

La Poetessa

She writes her poems from back to front
so to discover if to laugh or to cry
by her first draft of the final couplet

Without missing a step at the volta
she leaps backwards across quatrains
shifting moods in return toward home

She alights on the nascent, the nexus
between having thought at all or not,
ultimately and eventually

When the scream or the sonnet is done,
she tucks the pen behind her ear,
adjusts a curl then disappears

I am not
who you think
you are.

Chagall 2018

I am startled
by my own movement
sudden and reflected
in the glass that surrounds me.

Chagall 2018

her lips
moist
in the fog

sweet fig
lost
inside

a time
best forgotten
for now

To Manifest

It’s not
the way
you think
it is

Till The Vehicle Comes To A Stop

How sad to think I will never again
see Haley’s Comet.
