Revolving Rivers
In backyards of my history
lies a tidal river
of ebb and flow revolutions.
These revolutions are normally no-news evolutions
back up toward headwaters of crisis and opportunity,
diastatic and polyphonic purest capital boundary roots
for future's river flow investment
out-flowing down

It's too hot and humid for September!
Even dust specks descending in the room's sunlight

Ecotones
Ecotones
are ruled by prevailing polycultures,
unusually fertile margins between two bioregions,
like a continental-ocean shoreline
or a clear blue lakeshore
poised above green grassy plains
and below glaciered and alpine forested mountains.
Ecotones
are broader when horizontal,
or can be,
but always comparatively narrow
when...

Refined White Values
While trickling thick amber honey
in my black decoffied coffee
I wonder why I never noticed
until just ever now
How refined white sugar
has monopolized my wider full-hued view
of more nurturing nutritional brown sugars

Autumn At Sunset
At twilight’s ease of dusk the autumn leaves do flutter in the
Evening breeze, trickling downwards across inspirations canvas,
Creating a multicolored cascade at sunset, a leafy rainbow clasping
From the tree tops heights, than blowing wildly astray...

The Cougar and the Deer
When I was just a little boy
we picnicked under alpine skies,
one time a mule deer strolled out
and fed in the meadow nearby.
