On Billy Bulson’s Farm
Grazing on the windfall
And doing no harm
Apples, pears damson plums
All waiting to be found
Under the trees
Lying on the ground
When we’ve had enough
The next little treat
Into the kitchen...

Making Lights MinichuA cage of sweet burning fire gold
Hung on night's swinging shears—
A golden flame still a twin so
In Orion's wordless mouth,
Its romance by dark christened
By rain; she's been cut out
Glisten
Chills in
Glimpses
A cage of sweet burning fire...

UTOPIA“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at” Oscar Wilde.
