London collapses
trains, planes, and automobiles
trapped and flash-frozen emplace 

Christmas lights still bright
If one ventured through the night
ghost carolers in the mews

Bagram Airfield July 2010

bagram airfield july 2010

hushed ether of morning
huddled guardian warriors, arms aligned
early call to prayer sounds the blood to chill
arrives the entry check point white linen under issued desert garb
a steely eyed airman quick witted and quicker with sidearm
all hell breaks loose and all age 30 years in one hot minute

The River Where You Lived In 2010

I, ashamed.
On my last trick
Feeling heartsick –
To conquer is selfish but brave.

Focus, feel peace.
Pinwheeling
Cling to the last thrilling –
Heart clutches and trembles and caves.

Spinning, reclaimed.
Hang on home harbor
Under ancient arbor –
The treasure that’s never repaid.

Refresh, release.
It’s a strange cycle
Paint me, pin me idle –
Tame me and ride with the waves.

Allergies 2010
Written: by “Britches”

Springtime pollen on zephyrs ride
It causes chills and makes me heave.
The torment caused I cannot hide
And from inside I dare not leave.

It makes eyes water and head to hurt
I wheeze, hark and frequently sneeze.
Then grab my inhaler for a quick squirt
There’s no enjoying a springtime breeze.

Circa January 2010 Bell Tower and Carillon

Twittered Via Chilled Wren
At Valley Forge, Pennsylvania

Prior carte blanche to confessing illicit
     extra-marital affair
I embolden tomb ache
     elicit, and baldly bare
faced laid out some
     of the sordid details clear
embarrassed at one escapade
     in particular constituting dear

45 Years 2010

45 Years 2011

Life taxes my thoughts
My memory strains
to  recall and record my days
As time passes on what I have done
The tides of time drift away
To repeat the process
But my memory holds firm 
on my love  for you
And it strengthens each day
As I slowly age
The passion of life 
and love are united
To wait for

Premium MemberThe San Jose Mine Rescue 2010

Located in the hot Chilean desert of Atacama
Is the San Jose mine that became the focus of drama
The miners reported for work, to start their day
Totally unaware of what was coming their way.

It was August the tenth two thousand and ten
When an almighty thunder left them shaken
There had been a cave-in, and that was the

Premium MemberBig Washoe, 2010 Plus Six, Plus Seven

———

2016,

Sheep.
Magpie.
Mule deer.
Mustang, colt, mustang...upon the ridge.

Eagle's nest, bald.
Oreo cows, in far field.
Running baby cows.
Sheep.

Felled branch...100 mph winds.
Controlled burn, left quiet;
but not, as it turned out,
without embers enough
to catch to flames
and race up the Sierra,
down the Nevada.

...
and humble a hundred million dollar
homes.

No cascades here,
only browns blotting
the green and white shoulders
sitting quietly above the
sopping Spring flats.

We rounded

A wind swayed in the trees
As the music played.

For Rachael - a Reposting From 2010

Earth of gray,
Something dreadful on the horizon looms.
There is no black and no white today,
Laws exist but justice is doomed.

Morality is labeled religion,
And must be separated from state,
Whose own religion is political correctness
And determining God's fate.

Oh heaven rain down on us,
We are tasting your tears.
Yes we've become that bad,
Confirming your fears,

That what has been done
