There's a dachshund from Key Biscay
saving ice cubes for a sweltery day
He buries them deep
hoping they'll keep
and wonders how they get away...

wrapping around her
a shawl of crimson and gold
lady of the dusk

buries her flushed face
in the bosom of the sea
and sets it aflame...

The wind howls across
Heavy snow buries the world
and then deep silence

I liked this better:

screeching wind, death sings
heavy snow buries, survive
a deep silence mourns...

Drat!
To the obscuring daylight,
That buries the stars;
Devalues the character of the moon;
And most of all,
Blinds my eyes,
To the essence of your candlelight beauty.
Drat, I say.
Drat!...

the republic rears beef cattle
feeds so well dairy ones
and calves are so fat
slaughters them often
but does not sell
does not eat any 
does not export anyway
buries carcasses
in hot refrigerators...

A breakfast of sunrise,
clear blue sky luncheon,
and a supper of sunset
defeats darkness rising.
 
Shadows remain behind,
lying down buries their existence.

Total darkness is a cannibal 
that feed on lighter shade shadows....

Time will out last life
Life will out last love
Love will out last hatred
Hatred turn into envy
Envy turn your heart black and bold
When you sell your soul
Buries will heal in time
Time make love seems forever
But pain will never die!...

Threnody dirges miseries
Severance of machinations
The gravedigger’s shovel buries
These coffin crypt lamentations
Lachrymose welts filling levees
Life’s vile xenotransplantations
Psychopomp as a wraith’s whisper
Dust swept away by a zephyr...

Soft and round,
stuffed with cotton,
Muffles my giggles,
Suppresses my sobs.
Buries my feelings,
Carries my throbs.
You feel my heartbeat.
You swallow my tears.
I fill you whole 
with all my fears
You assuage my bellows
my dear pillow.......

grey
squirrel
busily 
buries acorns
keenly observed by shrewd ravenous rook.
rook swoops in, pillaging hidden treasures,
jewels shattered
on roof tops;
oak tree
groans.

wrapping around her
a shawl of crimson and gold
lady of the dusk

buries her flushed face
in the bosom of the sea
burning deep shadows

with a tang of cold
in this serene solitude
of the mute landscape

My bones are exposed

As winds undress the texture

Clinging to wool skin

I find no haven at morn,

When fall buries my ribs deep

Hiding in their basement caves,
the ‘journalists’ deride

The light of facts and truth cast dim,
a downward fatal slide

Where once out in the open,
clear vision far and wide

Credibility buries deep
—their fear a den of lies

Hanging on
A thin bending stem
A little bumblebee
Refuses to fall.

Wind blows stronger,
Even tighter he clings, 
Determined not to lose.

Tenacity is rewarded
As he buries his head
Within the crimson heart
Of a delicate rose
And extracts
The sweetest
Richest, golden nectar....

Ice forms new land. 
Water is a gentle hand. 
Snow buries the dead. 
Rain rebirths life ahead. 
Clouds house spirits and souls. 
Hail falls, heightening the tolls. 
Creeks carry the weak. 
Rivers bring life to the peak. 
Lakes hold waters so old. 
Seas claim lives they stole. 
Oceans preserve origins of life....

We’re lucky to have survived each other,
  in the aftermath of love

Those promises made as leaves they fell,
  from a height so far above

The seasons changed, a pledge reclaimed,
  buries deep within the ground

Waiting for Spring, its first robin to sing
   —a new song of hopeful sound

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)...
