It Won’t Matter
We’re walking on the Mobius strip of time, Thinking we know where it begins or ends. Those on the other side are equally sublime, Busy making enemies and courting friends. Pretending there’s something more to being, We move along to the next part of our path. Not quite understanding what we’re seeing. It won’t matter […]
Whip’s Crack
Whip’s Crack ~~~~~ I wonder what lies yonder, It looks so very far away. As I draw near, I ponder. Will it always look this way? What if I turned my back? Or it turned its back on me? Turning fast as whip’s crack, Will it look the same or be? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, […]
Shall We Dance?
Shall We Dance? ~~~~~ Gather ye the fortunes. Gather ye the graces. Let the gods walk and let the mischiefs play. Gone now the sorrows. Gone now all the pain. Out into the cosmos, More than we can say. Here now the turnings, All seasons light to dark. Quiescence, resurrection Dance eternity’s rondelle. ~~~~~ Peace […]
Only Who I Am
Only Who I Am ~~~~~ Words, for me, wind down My art draws me, to paint All my words, all the words Any language, form, intent Incomplete to curry change Still I grasp I’ll persist, scribbling Verses, essays, stories, more Offering vision, being, truth My truth, which the universe Fills or drains, ebbs or flows […]

I Tell You
I Tell You ~~~~~ It is not as close to Spanish as you think. Nor, I tell you, does it taste like chicken. Although we are much closer to the brink And believe you me, the plot does thicken. I cannot tell you this with a nod and wink. It makes my mouth dry, my […]
Another Life
Another Life ~~~~~ Another new pen to pierce my veins To draw forth my creative self Letting my life-blood flow upon the page Pool, so I may dip my brush, paint Display myself upon life’s canvas The boards where I act a scene or two Where I bow and exit to the wings Mayhap to […]
Simple Complexity ~ Complex Simplicity
Simple Complexity ~ Complex Simplicity ~~~~~ Why then must poetry’s meaning be couched, Like the imagined sea-sound heard in a shell? May fleeting beauty, convoluted truth be vouched, Said simply and offered crystal-clear from a well? Will it help if I use night to presage age or death, Flying birds or sunsets standing in for […]
Now and Then
Now and Then ~~~~~ Now I come to my last page Where I can scribble, dribble Out my thoughts and such. Probably lost in the future. Surely lost in the final days when Sol goes nova. Boom. It doesn’t matter what I say, Except how others’ll see me. I suppose it also shows how I […]
