Resonance
Does the human voice Beautiful, resonant Moving, harsh Croaking, damaged Call to us Bring to us Wisdom, stories We cannot imagine Make-up ourselves Neither exact Nor strictly accurate But more true Than reality itself
Daily Shuffle
I’m turning over words and phrases Like flipping a random deck of cards I am finding only deuces and treyses Seeking wholeness, but finding shards Searching for an ace or king or queen My chance to take the winning trick Not reality, reflection, but in between Cards upon a table; everything clicks Like magic: practiced […]
Your Life or Mine?
Who could predict that it would rain On the day I met you, that one time With newspapers held over my head So you would kindly offered to share Your umbrella, with its Caillbotte art It might have been Monet’s waterlilies I don’t quite remember, except we ran Under the awning; we talked, rain fell […]

How!
All day long, we fought and wrestled All night long, we talked and prayed Drank deep, and broke all the vessels Not a one would quit, thus we stayed In the end, we’d each got in our licks Blows, kisses which bruised, battered Victory and loss laid out in tock-ticks Hoped how we lived all […]
Spot On
