a seismic rupture between life/death/rebirth
gnaws at my marrow This dilemma-kudzu
coils tight, constricting tomorrow's breath

Eulogy
Eulogy
Sing eulogy, O wind,
Crying out the sorrow,
Howling deep within your zephyr,
For branches where you once entwined
Your restless fingers
Into a joyful melody of rustling boughs
In lyric song;
Hear now, as you pass, only memories
Floating on the...

Three Messengers
Old and ugly and well married is the visage
that I carry, and yet, there is another world
that keeps opening up its magic door.
It sends me notes and emissaries
that I could be,
I should be much...

without question I climbed.
Until finally I had reached the peak of Mt. Everest.

Fantasy Forest
The horror repeats in my mind like an annoying verse
Of all the remembering I get to rehearse
I hear your voice but I can’t see your face
I see your outline but I can’t see your race

Whispering Memories
Traveling through the doorway in my heart
I emerge
Gently closing it
I place my palms on the worn hinges of time
I lay my ear near its surface
As I let my lips hover close
Grazing the wood with a...

No Frigid Days, Only Mild Days
Some forests never fear the fury of March bending a tree,
their Redwoods and Giant Sequoias provide good shelter
from winds and storms that occasionally begin at sea;
in this woodland, the wood thrush and the blue warbler

A Stroll Through San Francisco
Jack London's home across the Bay,
Now crossing the Golden Gate.
Walking through Fisherman's Wharf,
Smelling the entrees as you pass restaurant doors.
While ships passing along the way,
Fishing boats pulling up to the dock.
Crabs are snapping at your...

Theatre of the Absurd
THEATRE OF THE ABSURD
Puppets, all parts, perpetually working.
Tense strings, plucked, with novice fingers.
Ruby sawdust sparkles with the warm sun.
Puppets on strings, such silly things!
A play set nearby, a seesaw, those twins –
Hansel and Gretel, balancing...

Songbird
(Paganism)
Sunshine and smiles
the fire dances with life
the air smells sweet
and the Songbird sings of love.
The Great Mother is content
the river flows freely
whilst her daughter chooses flowers for her hair
and the Songbird sings of life.
The redwoods...

A Little Dog
Once I roamed through the woodlands
With my large old shepherd companion.
We walked fearless, through redwoods and pines,
Through vines and ferns
To the top of the Cross mountain.
There we stood gazing out over the...

Spicy- Oh So Annoying
Enjoying a placid lake, so quiet
Fox trotting, sniffing the ground-
Then a loud, shrill scream of a
spoiled child.
Serene path, I walk as the guest of light breeze,
hand in hand strolling with my love

California's State Flag
I am a Grizzly Bear flag, with one star in the sky

Over lands of the Pacific crest
Where the mountains are...

The 17-Year-Old Girl As the World's First Immortal
She breathes between silhouettes and bed sheets,
A kind of bitten lip hopeful-too old and far too young to take herself seriously. Her older sister- the Grand canyon
God said she shall have everything and nothing, live...

The Thief
THE THIEF
I circle you slowly,
blow in dust from the south,
I smother your nose,
and breathe in your mouth.
I force you to strangle,
to spit up black mash,
Stinging your tongue,
turning lashes...
