Smell rises from
The bread I made today,
Baking and browning in the oven.
Oh, joy!...

Pie in the oven!
The flaky crust is browning,
Sugar crystallized.
Apple filling, juicy sweet,
I’ll eat it all by myself.

A tale of grey grief 
Told by a browning old leaf 
Made green ears turn stiff:

What witnessed I have
You all would one day, be brave,
It all ends in grave.

So much lost…
 so little gained

Prairies in judgment,
our destiny framed

So little gained
for what we lost

Spirits now orphaned
—tomorrow the cost

(Browning Montana: Blackfoot Reservation - May, 1995)....

A grilled cheese for lunch
Is enjoyable
The sandwich in pan
Then browning both sides
Notice the cheese melt
Then ready to eat

With chips on the side
Or a few pickles
Don't forget the beets
Together they blend
When eaten with cheese 
Makes a perfect meal...

Sky's blue !
Where are you?
Ground's, 
browning... 
Alone
Rotten bones.
You hear the sound?
Rumbles of rambling?
Can you just handle?
Those blue skies the brown ground!
Lucifer's sampling...

His ebony tongue mouth discord;
Abundant flourished uncured;
Purple Heart death came close;
Browning skies fled past the nose to throat;
Blues blue brews asking hosts;
Blackness is the body of the voice ;

Billowing bellows
Blatantly belching
Blowing cold air
Blazing the fire.

Bloated to bursting
Building the heat,
Burning the charcoal
Browning the meat.

Burgers are ready
Bangers are hot,
Bread buns are toasted
Brown sauce in the pot.

Autumn here slices
Icy cold windy,
Autumn here splices
Pieces of icy.


I linger inside
Starve away icy,
I linger outside
Icy bites greet me.


Falling leaves yellow
Browning death feisty,
Falling leaves hollow
Endings now meet me.

tis spring the brown lawns 
the naked branches on the 
trees brisk winds tickling
~
rays of sun dawning
moisture to do on the ground 
horizonal viewed
~
hang on ground brown will 
soon turn green the surroundings
this be winter's spring

The best books have a little
love in them. Whether it be
a taped spine or a
half-creased cover
a forgotten dog-ear or
a few margin-scribbles
a browning of the pages
or perhaps a signature
the more time a book spends
in the company of men
the better it learns how to tug
at their heartstrings....

Today I’m thankful for words of love
Love is a feeling many a poet has tried to express…
but, for today at least,
I like to think…
Elizabeth Barrett Browning said it best:


You know in your heart your love is true…
When you can say
“I love you not only for what you are
but for what I am when I’m with you.”...

Now don’t get me wrong
I love that old song
I’ve been singing it most of my life
But it’s really quite loud
And the noise of the crowd
Is really annoying my wife
So please keep it down
Or take it to town
Before I have cause to regret
I’ve been drowning my fears
In too many beers
My Browning is loaded with tears...

NO GREATER BEAUTY

No greater beauty hath these eyes seen,
No grander vista nor ocean scene,
No better metaphor could Rumi find,
Nor Browning a more perfect rhyme…
No sweeter music hath graced these ears
No absolute truth could be as clear
Than the golden soul light I did view
In your eyes when you said “I see you”....
