Tintype (poem)

Tintype

Soon

Going the way of nostalgia

Relying on used to be’s

Photos without a soul

Recalling a life

That really wasn’t

So apparent

At the Pond (poem)

At the Pond

Temporary rain

Quiet the muses

Rake them into circles

Because one day

Leaves will be trapped

Beneath the ice

Sea Glass (poem)

Sea Glass

Tumbled and natural

My blues and greens

Genuine

Sky and earth

Buoyant and grounded

It’s the Bohemia,

An open-hearted myriad of presence,

That scares you

Birthmark Earth (poem)

Birthmark Earth

Brown spatter

An identifiable view

Hill upon hill

A burnt toasted spot

Yet

Owning the crowning waves

Lifeblood (poem)

Lifeblood

Grasping the ephemeral

Geometry whirls

Cloaking the obvious

While time wefts and warps

Creating

Corpus mortuum

On the alchemist’s canvas
