It's All In a Name

This is a poem about surnames,
Surnames we could hear any day.
How their name was derived
From how they survived,
Their occupation will give them away.

ARCHER is the first one,
Shooting his arrows straight and true.
BAKER is the next...

I Was Listening To Levertov Read

i was listening to Levertov read
one of her poems
and as she spoke my mind drifted
her words were of those moments
when manunkind sinks its' teeth
into the bowels of the earth
rapes untold but well known
riches for itself

Garden Fresh

Crisp end of winter morning,
my shovel digs the soil,
turning over weeds and worms,
and watch them twist and coil …
hoe the dirt once more again,
until a soft and silky bed,
then plant seeds, where once grew weeds,

Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity

Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity.

She couldn't write about her mother-
Her young womb a cradle

Love's Fruit

Among your orchard grooves lemon green grew
At first the dream-like pear-shape eyes
Until i parted and stared closely 
Into your cherries iris pupils
That aim the Cupid's arrow, 
Piercing through my reddened apple
Puncturing a spring full of...

I Fear People

I fear people 
 People who are wearing colorful masks
 Hiding poisoned daggers in their casks 

I'm afraid of people 
 Whom over their head
 Carry the banner of benediction
 Then again at night

Wine In the Val D'Aosta

Steep slate slopes glow in autumn gold
Below jagged white aretes. 
Strong young men hunt among the crags
Pursuing choice chamois and deer.

Valley maids harvest purple grapes.
Laughing children mash-dance in vats.
Women stir yeast to set the brew
And...

Thank You

Thank you dear poets
 for being always here
for the things you write
and the things you share

our words that define
our words are refined
we are the ageing casks
yet we wear a million masks


thanks for all of you...

Fo'C's'Le Ashes

Ashes collected into the collated casks and 
          Corked with animus, Moon Girl pounded on. 
Drumming a dirge on the tanner's own flesh.
