with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.

Begging the Question
Backup book, Dr. Hudson's Secret Journal,
prequel to The Magnificent Obsession,
lags behind, but clarifies its kernel,
secret key for a medical profession.
The basic skills of healing are internal,
excellence demands good deeds of discretion.

Her Name Passed My Mind
Smiling like a toothless baby. 
Spreading happiness in hearts.
Touch her hand as she agreed. 
And talk imaginary memory.

Like a sweet child in ballet
 toe steps glide across the archway,
A graceful pirouette holding breath and heartbeat
 balanced then suddenly rising like modern athletes.

A rhythmic cadence hustles across the days
