A Broken Monoku

.


          deserted asphalt road -
                              
                             distance never healed

Can'T Keep a Plant - Weed - Down

Men and women pour tons 
Of concrete, cement, asphalt, stones
The humble weeds seek the Sun
Foundation. Humans quip they won!

Isle In Asphalt

tall grass tickles
a bare tree growing through stones
an isle in asphalt
painted white lines go by
guiding the flow of morning

Trickles

evening is silent 

as gust trickles on asphalt 

ruffling umbrellas ---

fingers in coiled position

a non mowers yard

cracked concrete
gravel and tar
grimy and gritty
asphalt yard
put in by my husband
a non-mower
who would like the entire yard to be asphalt

a yellow lily
blooms next to steaming asphalt
beauty finds a way

Birch

Nostrils flair
As scents waft in
Gasoline
Wet asphalt
Rain pours down
Cars muddle by
I safe in my perch
Safe in my birch
Still unbent by time

Wagtail

A wagtail 
on big feet is 
looking for something to eat 
on the asphalt 
just outside the window
the little bird is big
as a dinosaur
among the ants

Across the Road

Let me leave the concrete behind me 
and go where the asphalt no longer shows.
Where the mist-covered trees surround me 
and nature gently caresses my soul…

Shimmering Fire and Ice

Just over the hill
Beyond the slick black asphalt
misty rain blankets
Cascading through soft sunrays
Shimmering like fire and ice

The Oranges and Browns of Autumn

squirrels get frisky
cold weather aids their enthusiasm
round and round the tree they run
horses glad to be walking on cool asphalt
loving the oranges and browns of autumn

Gray Days

Grass sopping wet 
Roads covered in rain
Asphalt slippery 
Yet again

Dismally upsetting
All Earth looks wrong
Yielding to what nature wants
She sings this dreary song

Heavenly View

Bile-blood
Drip drops
On the
BLacktop
From my mouth,
Christened like
The cup
During communion-
This pavement
Shall be my
Chalice
I guess
Even asphalt
Can be a
Heavenly view.

Heading Out On Thursday

This morning feels like ignition to the restless soul.
I’ve lived so long grounded, sole to earth and tires to black asphalt.
Oh meshing gears and anklebone. The road, my life, my load.

                                             volcanic asphalt

Glow And Grow

Sometimes, it doesn't matter 
What kind of dance you do
Who you do it with 
Is more important.

If you have a dream 
A desire and perseverance  
You will germinate 
Even through the asphalt.

Eternity Defined

" A time grown out of pity like rain on the asphalt. Pain is a pleasure to the unassuming masses. It was not the vow that was broken, but the innocence that stumbled out of reach of lovers torn at the seams "

Condom On the Asphalt

Condom on the asphalt!
   Never seen or heard,
    Numb to the world,
     Genes resvior,
Always containing an outburst!
    A terminated vector,
      Malthusian prophylactic,
Condom discarded
    on THE ASPHALT!

Amnesia

Tangled skeins of memories unravel
Implacable reverie in melted rainbows
Encroached upon asphalt canvas, absorbing
New moon's amnesia; her silver shadows confiscate

STOP! OR ELSE

Glaring oracles, suspended high above the asphalt,
Imperiously commanding reckless drivers to a sharp halt.
Defenestrate the folly of haste, oblivious to the signals, 
Prioritize life over velocity and frivolous giggles.

Christmas

kites danced on their threads 
against an asphalt heartbreak
warmth of ma's baking
