Halloween - Senryu

Death stands in silence
chaperone to innocence
craven beggary

Molly coddle,
Life's a doddle;
Pander,pamper,
Baby,pet
Spoil, then cosset.

Shelter,shield
And thoughts conceal;
Handle,dandle
Chaperone and guard,

Destroying common-sense.

a signage in the park exclaims 
pause awhile here for Jesus
two young men chaperone
our aroused curiosity

what do you want for your family
is the question to us they posed
there is no one here, we answer
hoping that they will understand

Las Meninas 2

figures of the court 
filling vermillion red lake ochres
theology of art on huge surface
las meninas 
on either side the little princess
in her own pensive world
chaperone hiding mourning
unknown guardadama attentive
dwarfs on the corner /disturbing
mastiff /tapestry head about 
to fall or rise/ the fire burnt
face restored new life 
of freedom

Cicerone

A narrow creek.
Night falls, I know the way,
even so
your hand guide's mine.

Your shoes can swim,
your arms can fly,
but you are not here
or anywhere,
just a presence,
a chaperone,
ushering me
upon an instinctual way.

I think you might be
the all-seeing spirit of an owl,
or some other nocturnal watcher.

Not a ghost,
not feathers or flesh,
just a shadow of heaven
by a narrow creek
where the dark travels.
