From a Hospital BedFROM A HOSPITAL BED
Wordancer

It’s not much...

Hot Yoga ChickShe’s a switchblade, blackjack,
Knuckle-duster dame.
Got the proper block and tackle,
Lash your rigging to the frame.
She put the drill press to your taproot
And the grindstone to your saber.
Good for sharpening your senses,
Keeps you on your best...

Winter RobinIn the meadow a single robin winters over
A hearty bird of sturdy disposition and feather
Oblivious to the cold, he thrives; moreover,
Appearing now and then despite the weather.
A hearty bird of sturdy disposition and feather
I have...

Strivethough ludicrous the fortunate
way around the storm may be
the violent mannerism found
inside the calm beneath the

quiet spine that swims just like
the candlelight which burns
around midnight when all those
imaginary creatures we’ve...

and watches as Milton appears all aglow and here...

Mornings To MeMornings to me
are not an exiting crescent moon
glowing gold in the west,
preparing to retire
below a distant tree line silhouette
Scattered footprints
in the glistening dew
on a lush lawn
still dreaming of the day before
Cantaloupe skies...

Autumn Still-LifePerching on a fencepost, the meadowlark calls
in sweet trilling tones like a solo marimba.
I mimic her voice and watch her curiosity
as I stroll among the goldenrod and yarrow,
the pathway winding through a welcoming maze
of autumn...

PrankingWhen morning comes too early in the day,
And I have not yet begun to plan the afternoon
I shall make some time for myself to play.
For such a day leaves room to be the buffoon,

The Footsteps of GodAfter a moment
when something becomes
what it has always been
and creation comes flying in
as natural as breath--
now that shakes the earth

Anything will do to set it off:

FencepostsBarbed wire makes illusive shadows
the sun is going down slowly,
a lazy red spoon
in your corner of the sky
it must be ten degrees
but you've been sitting on that
fencepost
all day
I never asked you questions
I know better when...

The FencepostThe fencepost, bits now
Sunk below the surface of
The dirt, lay broken much the
Same as that day, years ago,
Little Georgie told his Ma, with
Excitement building in his voice,
Hurried by his mates pleading
Nearbye "Momma, I'll fix the
