as billowy linen-white gossamer clouds slip away, as soft blossoms open for the sun.

in loving memory of my nephew, Eric
Jones, who is now flying with the
angels


I was a professional kite flyer, and had won big contests and tournaments,
As the one who has glimpsed a dream, and hasn't ever...

I was a successful, fancy dollmaker, but that had not always been the case,

For in my inexperienced youth, I had seldom given any undertaking...

snuggled up to the gentle fire
under the moon and stars 
he rests his head
and nestles into
a long lingering
swig of whiskey 
that drifts his mind
on the night breeze
like the billowy puff
slowly eclipsing
the moon 
a sparkling stream...

The church all speckled with red and white
Billowy white bows affixed to the end of pews
Red roses in vases & all other possible places
A silver lace runner leads the way to impending 'I dos'

The seductive voice
emanating from the Cyclops eye,
whispers:    Don’t believe what you see!

Moonless Nights over South Sudan

heartless Moon, don’t tell me
that you weren’t looking 
when soulless soldiers dragged me

so you wouldn’t hear
my screams...

with brown, baggy trousers full of dirt 
tucked into rugged boots for best fit.

Image: Cloud Fantasy, by Susan Lawrence

On spring's green carpet I repose, revitalizing the soul
passing slow minutes pondering the sky

The lake whispers a morning meditation
as memories abound of cloud fantasies
a thousand ships of condensation dreams

Assorted sizes,...

It seems like forever ago
That I jumped for joy at the first snow
The billowy mounds shining low
Glistening like diamonds on paved roads

As pure as a small child's heart
All that's evil, still in the dark

Making forts...

Ode To Pretty Cat

My cat has female inclinations when it purrs
It does not speak in English using words
But has a perfect soul
Pretty Cat gets by, with its billowy fur

Prefers not fighting and takes flight
At any...

   wind riding on morning haze
   and the once cloudless clear skies

A sudden wind and rain storm

An edge, the edge, the intersection of beginnings and endings,
The moment...

I’m the latest ghostly tale of a Dead Sea non-person
A son of a slave seed; 
I Diaspora bled from wooden callousness,
inside a cadaver pale white whale — 
born half-dead on arrival
Bosom fed green pasture promises,
