Rust and Slime
Every once upon a time always starts at the end Stars swing through their arcs, while we pretend It appears we will not get it right again this time Let’s see what will grow from the rust and slime
No Matter Which You Name
I do not wish to create a new world I wish to create this, our world anew Contemplated re-creation takes time Happens in an instant to all, me, you Dark moods, aches, pains, show up It is wallow in tragedy, go out, smile When terra was incognito we shared We are thee, thee we, so […]
Hopeful
Sitting on a bench, while past me the crowd flows Hopeful that no one going by steps upon my toes
Constant Companion, Mutual Friend
Boarded the train with me As usual, I failed to notice Or wonder who it might be Perceived no sign of artifice Pushed my cart in the store I remained quite unaware My hands on the push bar Didn’t notice anyone there Changed my baby’s diapers With my husband’s hands Pried rubber from my wipers […]

All of Me
I swirled as a seed Caught within the flood Following the torrent Toward safety, doom Danced along a precipice Hidden by the storm Imagined I was apart Unconnected, unprotected Bashed, battered Buffeted by unseen force Believed I wouldn’t, Couldn’t have mattered Wandering along Washed up upon An unknown shore I lay silently Quiescent, unknown Parched, […]
A Better View
I often wonder, how did we get into this mess I mean, we did not choose to grow our brain Who decides to confront predators, such stress Sharp fang and claw, able to cause acute pain Where else in the universe, would you suppose Evolution played this little joke, what survived Not really a joke […]
Despite Expectations
Could it be that I have found and lost my way Will it all change tomorrow, or stay like today Mostly I have questions, while answers I offer None will make you powerful nor fill a coffer Does anyone know right questions or answers The sinking Titanic; don’t disturb the dancers Take me to your […]
