Pine

I retrace the line of
her handwritten note
to make me feel
she’s still here

So much life
in the vee of that tree
indeed lots astir
at the crotch

Full Voice

A whisper in a storm
hums poetic
melody for the deaf
astounding blind artists
who speak till silenced who
no longer levitate for fractures
to wings heal slowly you know
what freedom feels like –
remember?

Clear mind. Vibrant life.
Hope. Opportunity. Beautiful oxygen.

Pendular

Deconstruct me
leave
a wake of
voids

The Pair

She couldn’t
remember which
we’d said we’d want
so she brought both
calliopes as well
as kaleidoscopes how
wonderful they went
hand-in-hand

I Think This Is Right, No?

Keep moving
we must follow
every drop of ray
must fall – alight
make truer yet
the glow of our skins

we are all
beautiful people
in sunset

tomorrows
wax deliciously
like sunrise – all new days

that’s what hope
looks like blind
faith keeps coming
long the day after

angle me so
I can watch
the last fade
of the light

Haiku for Frozen Glacier

Blue below icy
Lakes frozen aqua brittle
Still beings moving

I.
Today I sensed
in the care of a plant
what I needed to do

II.
Today I sensed
during care of a plant
what I needed to do

III.
Today I sensed that
the care of it all
is what I needed to do

IV.
Today I sensed in
the care of it all
that I was needed

Appropriation

Inside
each poem is

another poem

I find myself
looking

for them

Chagall 2016

Unfinished

I came across
my draft of a poem
started a while back

It reads as if
we’d been interrupted
for all it says is

She
