Occasional distant laughter
in a corridor where people are car...

That the earth is round, round
Like African women,

On the laziness of orange trees,
On the beds of straw,

Too Late, the Black Telephone

Memory comes back,
Piece by piece,
dropping into mind,
as leaves falling one by one,
These colors reflect the sweetness, and bitterness

Raven's Bones
...Waterlilies brighten black
ripples, reeds, and rocks below.
An even flow, bane and blight
recedes to bare raven’s bones.
A grave of darkness blanches
In austere light on bloodless
banks, ...

Aging
...Nature ages like Youth,
a bougainvillea wrapped
around a strapless watch.
Youth doesn’t look at the clock
but ignores passing hours unknowing,

So full of empty between the ears;
void breeze reasoning,
zero thoughts a-blowing
Banished to the barren cornfields,
multi-grain years of accumulated wisdom

...Her crimson heart blanches,
broken, her soul aches
never to numb her loss.
When songbirds silently retreat
to tallest treetops, shaken
she lights her solitary restlessness.
On the wind...
