On it, worth the risk to me
You must be kidding me
Why live to be
In nothing but misery?

Just like that instantly
Another epiphany
Seeing it all vividly

Lovelies, let’s gather ‘round.
Grab your citrusy orange.
Hold it in your palm —

Lovelies, have you got
the whole...

some insane reason to seperate
people who love one another

drums on through an after- dawn marketplace…
the wide tunnel of  mouths
reel from the splintered chorus

papaya, arabica and sushi roll orders: a fiesta 
of succulent aroma...

I got a smart phone
And bought some Smart food
Smart razor, smart comb
Got my wife a smart boob
Whenever it’s squeezed
Coz we’re in the mood
Ten minutes later
The coffee’s fresh brewed

I have smart TVs
Plus two smart RVs
Smart this,...

Candy-coated 


The darkest day 
The most bitter night
Warm, salty tears crawl down
The back of sweet bamboo
Candy-coated , granular gold

Picking leaves, picking...

Brittle and broken, the eucalyptus snaps loudest.
Pulverized by constant wear
of boots on dusty trails.
Debris of lifeless memories
detached from vital source,
scattered broken on apathetic earth,
pummeled by the passerby.
A lifetime of transforming sunlight obliterated
in the spiraling downward...

Telling me it's time for tea

As I try to decide what to have for myself
What flavor of brew should I steep into my...

In the center of my garden,a marble fountain stands.
Today, the fountain-birds harmonizing  
and conversing in joy, 
Of their plans to fulfill for God's day.
Insects, too,are busy doing their holy work,
some building tunnels way under the earth.
If lucky, I...
