Resolute (poem)

Resolute

Contemplating

An alchemic brew of fate

Your sophisticated components

Disguised with the brine

From that pewter cutlery

Triggering a gag

Mountain Meadows (poem)

Mountain Meadows

Desert dust crying out

For what was

Their dreams

Mere whispers now

Regret and blood

Lost in time

To sheets of rain and tears

Here and Now (poem)

Here and Now

Every day now

My lungs are green

Each breath full of life
And finding

The enchanted forests

Deep along the path

Of the love

I had hoped for

On Words (poem)

On Words

Ah

It was not all she wrote

She wrote,

And wrote,

And wrote some more

Such a clever liaison

With a pencil

Bumping and grinding

Between the sheets

Being with Birds (poem)

Being with Birds

Three breaths to center

Inhaling and exhaling

Alignment and quietude

With winged things

For feathers are transiently

Bristled in breezes

And in the addled sound

Of my curious footfall

Day (poem)

Day

Up from the pillow

Those casual curves

In the sheets

Heralding daybreak

With a yolk in the sky

Coffee clouds rise

And us

We’re here

Resemblance (poem)

Resemblance

A crime

Those little girl dreams

Went unnoticed,

Underneath

She was always

There.

Now the wallpaper scraping begins,

Peeling away the layers

Sloughed and exposed
