au revoir to autumn
Autumn reigns in glory but for a season before
winter covers her with a quilt of snow.

Winter Is Gone
Winter is gone
It's already midnight
Spring is here
With her flowers and presents
We have a new season
Everyone knows the reason
Since the girls are pretty
And the women wear their best, that's right.
Winter is gone
We are sad, it's madness
The world is crazy and long done
I lost my love, my pride
Things are very different
The aunt smokes in the little tent
Winter

Au Revoir Oh Perilous Freedom
Au revoir oh perilous freedom...
Since pledging my troth
to the missus July 25th, 1996
after the comma error
punctuated mein kampf with disequilibrium.
Ever since the notions
of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
coalesced within the mindscape
attributed to one
or more anonymous forebears
way before the advent of civilization
when written language preserved
(*****sapiens communicated
virtual primal groans and grunts),
nevertheless witnessing inchoate awakening
visa vis

Defeat
All beings must face defeat one day
No one is spared of this mortal tray
Trust me; it is never easy to lose
Your destiny is the chthonian noose
Waiting to hang you by the feet
Now or later, one must face defeat
One must kiss disappointment
For the last time, for the last moment.
You can weep all you want
You can wail

Au Revoir, January
I thought I'd saved my best for last
yet it seems the month sped by too fast
Glad to get January out of the way
so Punxsutawney Phil can have his day

I Depart This Evening
I swallowed
Your decision
I’m leaving
The mansion
I accepted
The defeat
And I acquitted
All debts
I loved you too much, darling
Oh! You forgot everything.
The surprises
Of life
Are not sweet cherries
I’m leaving my heart
For peace
This is a required part
I depart
This evening.

Epi Nou Pati San Anyen
Nou vini
Nou flannen
Epi nou pati
Se tout sa nou konnen.
Sou latè nou vini
Nou navige, nou flannen
Epi nou pati san anyen
San papye, san lajan, san yon peni.
Se bonjou ke nou di
Nou pale, nou chante, nou ri
Epi san anyen nou kouri ale
San frèn ak sèn, san propryete e san papye.

Y Nos Partimos Sin Nada
Venimos
Deambulamos
Y nos partimos
Eso es todo lo que sabemos.
Venimos a la tierra
Vagamos por la tierra
Y nos partimos sin nada
Sin dinero, centavos y bienes.
Decimos buenos días
Hablamos, reímos y cantamos
Y nos escapamos sin nada
Sin hermanos, sin la tierra y sin los enlaces.

And We Depart With Nothing
We come
We roam
And we go
That’s all we know.
We come on earth
We roam, we surf
And we depart with nothing
No money, no bitcoin, and no ring.
We say good morning
We chat, laugh, and sing
And we slip away with nothing
Without siblings, land, and building.

Et Nous Partons Sans Rien
Nous venons
Nous errons
Et nous allons
C'est tout ce que nous savons.
Nous venons sur terre
Nous errons sur la terre
Et nous partons sans rien
Sans argent, de sous et de biens.
Bonjour, nous disons
Nous discutons, rions et chantons
Et nous nous échappons sans rien
Sans frères et sœurs, jetons et liens.

Au Revoir, Team Uc Davis
Tribute to all who at Trauma Center,
UC Davis, who assisted me in healing.
Medical Teams!
I’ ve been here 21 days!
You all provided for my every need!
I mean far beyond things medical....
There is something in each of you
Amazingly rainbow and spiritual!
I came here with my arrogance and
inner fight.
You, softened these fires with listening,
outstanding care and

Au Revoir
I saw her standing by the door
after school waiting for her ride
I waved and said
“Au revoir” as I passed by
It was all I had time for
on my way to French Club
I was always in a rush then
considering my future
what more I could do to stand out
on college and scholarship
applications
hoping to escape the poverty
that had plagued

Au Revoir England
There is the fear. There is the stress.
Life now out of kilter, life before this mess.
Where do we stand, how do we call?
In a different land than ‘‘twas afore.
There is the menace of the right fires burning. The horizon dims as the world keeps turning.
The England I knew of my life before, it’s not that

Au Revoir
If time shall not our derelict joys
Revive with tunes melodious so,
Let past's nostalgic merries balm
Our souls and bid all sorrows go.
Should ebbing laughter and smiles
Their cold arcs yet vanishing carve,
May old cheers of our jolliest whiles
Redeeming warmths pitifully impart.
Although gone mirths seldom thwart
Present galls despite their vivid hues,
Mortal forgetteries
