Timeless

It’s Saturday morning,
I find within my mind
that which allows it
to never slip away.

Fair Dreamin’

Bi-planes above us under
low-blue ceiling, I wonder
if they’re from our time.

Haiku For Once There Was A Robin

The songs are ancient
Sung by birds who’ll soon perish
Sunlit empty branch

La Fête

How creative the moment it constellates
like stars in time set off little flares
I’m awake I’m awake I’m alive!
against real sky in reel time.  Let’s!
you and I do jigs on the dance floor
wave our flames high in the air
We’re awake, we’re alive!

Or

You’re either
at the outskirts,
really not important, or
you’re the there is
at the center. Pick one
or both but not
neither. You can’t
have neither.

Thought I Was Done

I had missed what was on the other side,
had never flipped it over, a small thing really
when one’s life is scribed on page two

Untitled By Intent

That which is unspeakable
indeed is the perfect poem.

Afloat social nets
We value cold illusion
Compressed in our shells

Listen to that silence
how it drowns out the sound
of rain, each droplet lost
forever in its din.

The Looming

I miss how as a child
I’d wake up afraid of the dark
Convinced that something was out there
