Hue and Me

we are all
colored people

…Twice, Cut Once

So much time is wasted
recovering from the rush

Rein In The Air

The pattern 
of shadow and light 
on the cedar planks
warm in morning sun 
through porch-screen
the culmination of 
all of my moments
till now

and then 
there is songbirds cooing
blues to their young

such a short line
from 
long ago
until
there was once...

I intend
soon to become
in the light of cedar
its grain

Shifted

a lot of people want to do big things,
to make big things work, while 
they ignore doing the little things
to make small lives wonderful

The heaviest rain
Shallow roots can reach deep now
Tall oaks espy hope

Ein Sof

it exists
not in any way

you imagine
heretofore
unbeknownst

no
hocus-pocus
hokey-pokey

turnaround
plain as day's
crystal night

there! 
dead-center

before you
within you

without 

pervasively 
everywhere

you
inescapable

Rainy Weekend Blues

I make a palindrome turn around, baby,
jump right back and repeat itself

(little blues fill here)

I was tongue-tied once to the bed,
tickled thoroughly through-and-through
till I talked 

Till I bled
 
On Fridays I put synonym in my coffee,
sugar in my tease, homonymically speaking,
I drink it down with ease

(descending dominant 7th arpeggios
into final major)

oh yeah!

rain, rain, go away...

I Even See Indigo

With my watering wand set to Mist, angled to morning sun,
I shape miniature rainbows at will on the fly
over the bluestone dianthus

Hey 19!

She did not know 
John Barleycorn Must Die,
nor the effects of tire tracks
across one's back (I can see you had your fun!)

...and so my signals turned from green to red
