I.
He was patient very-very
with child's tenderness in eyes
yellow winged angel's unwary,
He was living quiet in skies.
Without disputes, without roughness, 
without want to weep and moan,
He was dreaming among heartless
building cloud castles alone.
He was waking up...

My muse stopped by today
He knew he’d find me home
With this current virus
I seldom outside roam

The Governor’s making changes
Things are freeing up a bit

He was wrapped in a flannel.
His tender feet were shoeless -

 His feet must dialogue with gods.

To the pews and table.

Festive cheer warms;
Spirits set free

Cherry blossoms
Pink carpet pathway;
Waiting patiently

View from my window;
Tender conversations

Spring wind rustles;
Cheery blossoms fall

~~~~~~~~~


Moonlight stroll
Old arch bridge;
Squeaky wood groans

One day I'll be preserved in sands of time;
glaring into diamond rays—white lights
the earth dissolves my flesh to fertile dust;
embeds treasures—secrets in a crackled skull

Metamorphosis—in the closet—white bones
the silver tusk of a unicorn; my wand

That the First Couple on EARTH
Passed on down through CAVES,
To this day of comfortable HEARTHS?

Snow upon mankind.

God sends lightenings errands
With speed they return messages
As high as the...

The stranger in the mirror says:
Alz is not well

Those grey hairs alzways lose twenty-something
track of time ...
can’t tell when he’s at,
where he last slept
Or how he fell

lucid thought

My bones will be weaker
My head will hold more grey  hairs

DRUMBEAT

The early morning silence,
Pierced by the melody of the birds,
