I've been fed a prune of life, Spooned it silver, everlasting. I spat it out to seek a knife, To chop and cease it of forecasting. The birth is reason as much itself: Not 'yond the self conceived. Wrote for book on busy shelf, Whose tales unread aren't grieved....

A Statement May Be a Question
He slipped away? Or did they take him? Stranger things have happened, have they not? Why do I ask so many questions of myself? Or am I asking questions of him? I could make statements. He went off of his own accord. This is one of his stranger happenings. I have to ask so many questions. So, this could be a question. Or is...

Come What May... When tears don’t say – because you pray It will be okay, when you see the light of day Time will reveal, the story of His will Whatever comes, whatever sorrow – so still I know the music of His grace in each glimpse of His face Glimpses of hope, portrayed on the sunrise, in the stars Glimpses of...

May
There are towel-drying winds. parks grow soggy with small dogs. May is an old man riding a bike backwards. It is oil for the broken engine in the barn. Wetness folds this way and that the sky unzips a larkish sunshine. We hear nestlings in their reservoirs of dew. New life bubbles in puddles, the green and tufted arrive out of nowhere, boys' fish...

2024 May first
Wed, 2024.05.01 By May, three months went passed, We enjoyed three day trips to the nature. We respected and polite to each other. Somehow I started having feelings for you. I knew from the beginning, Our relationship could not go beyond than this. But my brain could not control my heart, So it started to contemplate some ideas, By not using the facilities at...

Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail, 31 May, 1970
B-52: a city on its own. You mess with us, we’ve got technology. I loved it when we flew into the zone: as Ernie said, “We’ll kill ’em till they’re free.” My job? To watch the black cascade of death and myriad explosions in the woods: Louisiana lilt – “You hold your breath,” that’s Ernie’s voice – “delivering the goods!” The pretty...
