Cinquain Again
Tonight
our moon will shine
out of a brown bottle
the world will spin and spin and spin
around.
Wasted
were all the words
ever said or written
every drop of ink wasted on
just words.
Painful
it is to wait
my turn to post a line
when W.F. Roby should be
next post.
Her farm
was her life blood.
It held her past apart
from her future and the present;
measured.
To rest
and to lay eggs
to warm with my feathers
to watch for cats and crows to be
on-guard.
Uncle,
I worked for him
two years in south Asia.
Did not enjoy it much; too much
shooting.
Cigars
are for baby
boys, donuts are for girls
as time passes nothing changes
but time.
