Since brevity’s the soul of wit,
I briefly might contend
That mine sure has that brief part down:
I’m always at its end.

After Reading Some Chinese Poetry

Wandering freely,
Cheerfully pacing the void,
Coming and going --
Even candles in the wind
Briefly shed light on the path.

towards that crooning
but your excessive preening
and secret self-loathing
won an abrupt ending

Briefly in quick glimpses
Sitting high and safe

Our hoot owl friend, I reply.

Slowly curl inward,
Like a hand closing into a fist.

Upon the last remaining

no bridge
your eyes are a deep cliff
to be wingless
do you know,this is not a problem
when you close your eyes to me

which rock will I hold

meet briefly
as we dance

disclose secret desires.

For hearts which far apart do dwell
together they entwine briefly,
yet words of intensity tell
of a desire so profoundly.

I wear no disguise,
really.
as do butterflies,
earth, I colorize
freely.
golden moon full-size
lulls school bus allies
briefly.

Who couldn't think of anything finer
Than to smoke cigarettes and play with his pets 
And eat out at an all night diner

I’d rather bleed briefly
And heal with a scratch
Than bleed forever
And never be repaired

  cast from an eternal light,
    on the crest of small waves--
      flickers in vast oceans of time
       each one shinning so briefly.

Briefly and calmly...

Once upon this time
Very very short story
I wrote the end here.

Need I say more then?
