Your lenses, crystal clear--
Twin orbs of blue, polished by tears
Of your lovely making
To tease my heart to plead for you
To spend eternity
With . . . more

My throat is closed
parched
I run to forget
to cleanse my thoughts
Push my body to the limit
Lush green blurs
My sneakers make just the
slightest . . . more

Quicksand at Night
The sand is inanimate. It has no soul.
Its speckles of silica and shell swirl
In the gritty Moon-drawn tide,
Rise and fall without pity

There is a word
It is a name for something you can see
If I tell you the word
You can no longer see that thing
You will see the word
The word will . . . more

Legacy
My granddaughter ran giggling,
Her mother catching up by bit
As I watched from the park bench,
Winded
Grandma strode behind them
But soon they were all together
Heading for . . . more

He entered the emergency room
And took a seat
Sat around for about
Thirty minutes
Got up
Strolled into the men's room
He exited a few minutes later
Approached the registration desk
Set down a bloody . . . more

deciphering words
amidst tattered pages-
resulting from folding
refolding,
of yellowing letters,
wrapped carefully
with love.
a single tear flows.

Your breakfast is on the table
Ok

Perched upon this rock
looking over the earth below
searching for answers
in your beauty.
Find me up here
hiding from troubles
soaring in a dream
of challenged hope. . . . more

Mowing
Lost in pre-linguistic thought
Mowing his precious lawn
In straightish lines he knew
Without the noise of words
That sweet-raw grassy scent . . . more

Eyes peer to know
What awaits me
On this brisk day
Pitching in seas
Capped by white spume--
Wickedly flicked
As briny spray
Past a proud bow

For fine effect. . . . more

fearing he will sense her hatred
he will know her plan.
She has put aside money
knowing she would need it
to be free.
Her things are packed
hidden . . . more

Where'ere the Poet's Limits Lay
Reaching for the twinkling stars
Is a strange and wonderful thing . . .
Reaching for that which defies
A grasp of common sense
Is the herculean effort . . . more

Neighborhood Chore
Sunday sounds of sough
And blowers blowing leaves
And other stuff I cannot see
Across dry earth, across
Dew'd grass, across
The driveway paved
With golden mulch of . . . more

up the way
middle aged

An inviting time
Of gentle breezes
Beside a canal,
Feet dangling over
An ancient stone wall,
Hungry, eager ducks
Rasping their demand
For the bread you drop
Past your sun-warmed knees . . . more

Finding trills in vacuum
Like reading blank pages
Beautifully bound
Leaves the lark to sing
Endlessly
In places it will never be
With passion silenced
To audiences everywhere-- . . . more

First Light
Peachy smears sky nature's stage
Behind brittle autumn crisps
Of naked, nervous shapes—
Gilded, glittered cameos framed
By liquid sheets of transformed beach
For virgin eyes . . . more
