As Memory Serves
...As Memory Serves
A mere bump in time...
as bottled cork pops,
engaged second hand...
conveyed decibels,
dons melting,
against that instant,
"It's a boy!", resonates.

Summer Walk
...A shoal of roach fast scatter at my shadow.
Mother moorhen toots as chick ducks in
and out of overhanging ivy.

The Lesson of the Raisin
...How slow can one eat one raisin?
How slow can one go?
A towheaded toddler sits cross-legged
Amidst his playroom with a raisin pinched
Between his forefinger and thumb, staring...
Raisins in hand...

No bones picked clean by virtue's rage
Against all sins left un-forgiven.
Lovers left in limbo-light at dawn
