Haiku For Purple Heather

Perhaps it was topaz
similarly lavender
blues, aprons for stars

Helium

A celestial ring to it,
turbines recede in the croon
of Doppler effect,
up above first clouds, a speck,
But you see it, don’t you?

Basso, pleasingly gargled vibrato,
slow trilled.  Perfect blue cold day.

So Flight I Can Almost Touch It

I realized then that it was far, far away
in the distance, the small v of an eagle
who slowly rises, dips on currents of air

Gaze 3 A.M.

chagall backdrop

How odd the stars that burn so hot
can wink, demure, so cold

I am warmed by the faces
of so many moons

More real than the lights
of jet planes

These nights I find
I slow down seeking free fall

Up, so I float
without need to ever

look down
