He just appeared to me, like wispily curling
Chimney smoke,
One grim and early morning in the very midst of
Decembers briefest days, on the highest slope,
Toiling through my daily round; where, slowly
Driving up...

once lived beside a slimy bog,
he was a most peculiar fellow,
his hat was red, his boots were yellow,
his waistcoat was an olive green,
the strangest sight you’ve ever seen,
no matter where...

An Anxiously Anticipated Event
Dear John,
All day
yesterday
I loaded up with a cascading river
of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,
transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;
Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
felt depressions...

Ghost of Tsali Comes
Ghost Of Tsali Comes
Lost in mist and maze
Ghost of Tsali in the corn
River water runs
Colors of fall alive
“Til moon replaces sun
That’s when Tsali comes
Corn roots cling to bone
As he tends the empty weirs
This spot...

I'll shake up Manvile and fill them with dread.

In My Father's Hands
A piece of waiting clay adapts
To a sculptor's finite stroke,
Infants heads were shaped by hands
Of older thinking folk.
Eight times a molder in his chair,
A newborn child held near.
Tiny heads-so softly stroked,
By my father's hands so...

The Voice of My Ancestors
Every morning
When I glance into the mirror
I look deep inside
Deeper than my subtly-thinning hair
Deeper than my raven beard
Deeper than my mocha complexion
Laden with marks
Of life's wear and tear
And high cheek bones
I see multitudes
From across...

Shadows laid along the path
