...So that you will know
the darkness of flowers

pouring jasmine tea

...The wind is in from lost town,
it is as thin as a knife edge.
Razor beaked gulls
twist their necks, rolling
in the gritty bluster.
Lost town sinks beneath
churning clouds,
its smokestacks

Gummy Bear in the Sawatch Range
...There were infinite shades of green
a few angelic scented cascades
a pair of brown birds sang to me

The un-handed mallet, laying without consience.
The smiling, changing expression of freinds past, in defiance.
That moment, sinking amongst dead feathers.

Hawk and Crows

it is perched on a high branch,
striving to ignore
the sharp beaked onslaught,
yet it cannot withstand for long,
the onrushing claws and wings.
The crows work as one...

...That one lost their tongue
somewhere along the way
long ago, the sound,
doesn’t come out the same

The wobbling mass of water below.

An infinite scroll of chiffon,
Rolling and unrolling

It is the birthing time.
Baby turtles flap flippers
as they try to swim on sand.
The sun glares and pins -
down this struggle for life
with a b...

Stormy Monday
...Sheet whites billow into balloons
then thin to sickled moons; light
oozing out in an opaline Day-Glo…
Rich mist spreads, spraying wider
milk-bright swirls of a snowstorm…
Yetling wind turns in...
