Went for a Walk
...I went for a walk today

I Ended the World
...I Ended the World
In this uncertain world
at this imprecise time

with slices of lime.

...In the temple of silence where you mourn your absence,
The walls dance in shadows of bitterness,
Chalices of dreams shatter with resistance,
In search of the eternal flame of the altar.

that marginal place where the elastic nature
of truth, reality,
the measure and fit of coffins,
baby cribs,
the doable dimensions of a a plasma screen

Soul Searching
...What do I know of soul?
Nothing but its close conspiracy with death
As the soul disconnects and flies when we die.
The world's soul can be seen in the clouds,
And death looms and hovers high

Fifty-Three Souls
...The rig rolled through Laredo
On the road to San Antone,
Its eighteen wheels of commerce
Headed north from parts unknown.
The shipping costs all paid to
Their coyote chaperones.

Intertwined
...No larger than a grain of rice,
her face is forming; mouth, a slice.
Her heart, a tube, begins to beat;
at one month, things are imprecise.
An inch now from her head to feet.

Stars Above Your Head
...Such beauty and precision
Fills every piece of your life
Stars and planets are too imprecise
Maybe you see them as too simple
Or just not pretty enough for you
Only one thing could please you

Ask Twice For Ice

But a tea with ice was not meant to be
The glass, smoothly tall
Held no cubes at all
Where all my ice went, was a mystery!

Shoes Steps Life

no false starts
no mismatch
safe steps.
Between my flat shoes
and your high shoes,
a lifetime for us
