Earthy Empathy
You've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."
I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand
I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.
Not so distant from,
I...

Dearly Departing Christians
Many of you live
humbly and heartily
patriotically and industriously
nutritiously and faithfully

Displaced by floods,
invasive mold,
voracious rot and rats,
Barren top soil,
failing electrical networks,
drought,
inhumane heat,
decimated forests
Bereft...

Workshop Poem - Winds Forgive
Turning my back on typhoon skies,
a pestilent past, I pitch my mistakes
into a forgiving wind. Standing barefoot
at the edge of apologies,
coastal tides carry hope, tomorrows stir
on a mariner’s horizon. I search...

Down slopes covered in forests
Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,
That dominates the landscape.
The name Alaska originates
From the Aleut word ‘Alyeska,’
Meaning the ‘mainland’ or...
