Cast him not in bronze, Nor sculpt in pottery clay, Lay down the chisel Where the marble bust holds sway. Better to fold paper In the Origami play, So when fame has died, He can quickly blow away....

Origami
White wings fly from fingertips. A white swan held up to the sun illumines the eye. Paper flowers velum vanilla perfumed. Cupped hands flowering in the air. Almost weightless, almost real, almost living, when in the hand fluttering or blooming....

Origami Organs
With nowhere else to turn, I'm driving this defective time machine off a cliff I'm the lead detective but I'm off this case If blankets and pillows can harmonize as weapons, Then consider this a sleep of faith A gas mask couldn't save me from this room you've filled with tantalizing radiation you call a breath...

Paper Plane
i took flight with innocence in my wings, naïve to the gusts that awaited. the winds of time and turmoil tossed me, tumbled me in turbulence. crumbled and creased, i fell, my shape distorted, my flight interrupted. but in each wrinkle and fold, vivid and untamed perseverance. i learned to smooth my edges, to refold, to reshape, to rise again. my creases are no longer...

Aeronautical Origami
AERONAUTICAL ORIGAMI It was my father taught me How to make a paper plane. Aerodynamically perfect, He’d hit the target time and again. And one day, in desperation, I decided to use the art To try to make an impression And win a young lady’s heart.

Origami Kiss

Origami
And now another week has passed. 7 years folded into days like origami... Next year the day of my birth A Monday again, Shall start another 7 years of my future. In which a half a century will have turned. The reveal of the eyes know of only what’s ahead and what’s behind. God, please give me this grace. Love is the...
