Woodland Blankets (poem)

Woodland Blankets

These muddled legends

More than corner shadows

With the vantage of backlighting

It’s simplicity is seedlings

Briefly

Canvassing the mountainside

Eventual

Flannel and ticking

Succumbing on the loom of life

It Matters (poem)

It Matters

Beyond pining

Some devilish knowledge

This inherent fluency

A reclamation now

Of mellow particles

There. Here.

Our timeless amalgamation

Manzano Music

We played wild tunes

The blade and the cup

To woodland gods

Bandied about

Different, yet the same

That was before

We saw the view

And then the music was gone

En Masse (poem)

En Masse

Each and every

One

Enough of these emotions

Ruling and abrasive

Binding

Like a tight scarf

Waiting for a neck

And winter’s remittance

With her bitter bark

Frenzy Redressed (poem)

Frenzy Redressed

Daring

To wear red

Your explosion

Hidden within

That dark aura

No one else knows

Knowing Without (poem)

Knowing Without

She has no cause

For differing flowers and tunes

Content to stay

In her own little heaven

Daisies and violins

Her summery season

Of bewilderment

Shredded (poem)

Shredded

You inhaled my words

And spat them back out

With your paper shredder tongue

Until I held a handful of my nothingness
