that had me smiling with delight:
A couple with their backs to me
were taking vows of holy matrimony.
My delight turned to suspicion, for lo!
for the minister pre...

one evening at nine
its drapery falling
to signal ‘it’s time’
The theater dark
all stagehands have gone
alone in her presence

I'M ALSO A SONG

...I’m Also A Song

Hey…
I’m also a song
And I’m not afraid
To sing my own tune

Is about me
Rather th...

Just a woman

...

She is always in a position of humility
                        An attitude of prayer
                                        Ready to serve
     For years of submitting has bent her back

WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTER

But damn, you handed me the match.
We played a bitter little game—
Now neither one can scratch the scratch.

ravens croak
      applauding twilight	
larks churr
    saluting sunrise
		
a last dance over
an inverted verge.

a perpetual encounter
    the last mesh of murk
         against gleams...

The remainder of beauty
images pour forth
Wisdom and a every day mentor
Shine those eyes

Moses

...Moses, the Australian Cattle Dog,
Entered our lives in October 2018,
Saved from an Amish puppy mill.
Our daughter’s surprise was not well-received;
A puppy was not in the picture.

The Blazer’s Put Away

The blazer’s put away now,
The medals in their drawer;
The polished shoes and formal tie
Back where they were before.

Commemorations over,

Flying Instead

...Walking and thinking and clearing my head
                   Facing my demons or lying instead
Even the flowers that smile as I pass
        Seem to be deep in debate with the grass

The morning was cold it was early

Vapor thin outlines levitating
