~~~~~ Could I say, to you, the hedgehog wondered And the sailboat rolled across the mighty seas? Dungarees, stonewashed and ripped at the knee. What wars have lasted the longest, I wander?  War Meaningless, to us, endless and fought far away? Insurrectionists and conspiracy  theorists thrive, Hide deep in bunkers until the open the sally […]

~~~~~ Brief interludes may be the joy of life. A smile, kind word to dispel our strife. If only briefly, our day becomes better. Duties we feel ted to, it foils our fetter. Our shackles have only been imaginary, Yet we say it’s Marley’s chain we carry. Our forced claim feeds a thing we need, […]

~~~~~ Form a figure three by three Where each space speaks In its own language, rhythm. Yet all fit together like a child’s Puzzle where every piece Is a different color and The pattern changes with how You change them, rearrange Your view and your perception. Memory marks the surfaces As they slip away, repeat. […]

~~~~~ Speaking to a stranger with common ground, Though the setting is alien to our daily lives. Shared interest, music, a universal language, Waiting, the hall fills, the orchestra appears. Clattering steps down the stairs. Young feet And old changing seats, seeking a best view. To see and hear, closer or farther depending. The orchestra […]

Soliloquy of the Elder Man

~~~~~                 Variation on a theme by W.S. of S. on A. To pee, or not to pee, that’s sequestration: Nether squeeze, a whimper in the line to buffer The zings and harrows of reluctant motion, Now to fake aim against an urn that bubbles. And by pretending flush then. To zip—to leave, Open the […]

Thoughts at a Concert

~~~~~ A clumsy rearrangement of the players. A forgotten score, a shifting of brass. To see that global warming can call forth Both the ultimate disaster and salvation A perspective I have never dreamed So easy to see once shown, so hidden By prophets and profits, disguising What should be obvious, plain to all. How […]

~~~~~   Each word I write comes from a placeWhich jazz musicians know well.Riffing off the world and each otherWhich will never sound the same twice.Each dependent on brief feelings,The vibe of the moment, connection.Never right or wrong, barely there.So that when it’s written downThe rest of us hear but a spark, an instantThat echoes, […]

Quick Dead

~~~~~   Brave sentinels stand silent, watch,Patiently wait for their next attack.Battle scars in evidence, some not.Greensward stretches before them.They simply watch, wait, exposed.Wind and rain, fire and small life,The hand of man the most deadly.Still, all life dies; the quick dead.Marvel then at their long life andHow strongly straight they stand. ~~~~~ People Over […]

Into the Tempest, Again

~~~~~   Massive and momentous, titans stride,Until the Earth trembles before them.Subtle breeze carries a calming grace.Even this cannot escape driving fire.Discussions ensue, yet none resolve. Gaze outward, to the sea and glory asA storm shrouds the dwindling sunset.Salvaged by surf till all fear they will Drown in the darkness, life quenched. Arise in the […]
