did kick...

The scene of time’s repeated theft
A rain upon the poplar trees
Witnesses vigor bereft
A paradox of time and place

Shared Torch LakeI rock in this outdoor cheap chair
Its cushion foam like ice cream
Half-eaten by the winter mice in storage
I don’t mind
Don’t need a full seat to see before me
The drop off on Torch Lake
Its fine line...

A Past PastimeHumpty Dumpty lived in make-believe land, like dreamy shadows get long;

Defying human fallacies with each...
