- Black Veil -...No one can see my eyes
they a covered with dark sunglasses
Dark as my soul and my thoughts

When You Wear a Dirty Shirt...When you wear a dirty shirt,
You're a book getting judged by its cover.
People think you're really poor, or nutty,
Or that you have a menial job.
Or that you're all three of those,
And then they......

Horses...Her tiny strands of forelock were as soft as silk,
resting gently between her poll and soft ears-
Her muzzle slightly wet as it began to wilt
For she was saddened and brought to tears......

Under a Winding Blacktop...Slow or fast
we think behind a slip stream,
a contrail of the gone;
of what went by a momentary window

And hers mine.
My chair at a slight angle;
Instead of my coffee sip,
A torch lights my lips -
A flying insect in

Forgetting...What was about this face ?
Between mirage and actuality ?

Sounds of Three Visitors To My Garden...Early morning, the trill
with a buzz, is weighted toward the beak,
tail twitching, side to side,
underside barred: my friendly wren.

the bright flame on......
