Short Db Poems

Roller bee tail can
Bury dung so times heaver 
Than itself nightly...

Nail clipped waxing moon
Tarmacadam cooling 
Chirping birds retire

Don't betray,
Do be brave,
Draw boundaries,
Delight bystanders
And dance beautifully...

35 years tonight without my mother,
Way longer than the time I spent with you,
Missing the fun we could have had,

Were I to know how you feel
I could traverse the wastelands of ignorance
Free from this incarceration in myself
Marvel in the elation of empathy
Feel the stuff we are made from
And belong
Alas I observe from a distance and presume

Hunter, searching for food, waiting
       for his target, lady waiting for her hunter's
                Safe return...waiting.
                      Will he see his deer?
            V      V        Will she see her dear?

Riding through the safari
a herd of buffalo and zebra
start running toward the car
Definitely hungry and needing a snack.

The animals keep chasing the car 
 and won't give up
I think what is up with these guys??

Until I notice, I have his tongue
Rolled up in the window glass!!

DB COOPER-IAN MUNYWE
Ka DB cooper sina pupa,
nitaondokea pia muda ukifika.
Daily kukachora kuzuia swara,
bila rwaara bado ninang`ara.
kaka dada mama baba,
nawatakia mengi mafanikio.
nahisi kama Jimi Hendrix,
back in 69 huko woodstock,
ama king Bob Marley in 79 santa barbara.
vibe ilikuwa safi pia,
John Lennon akiwa madison square in 72.
basi tunazidi kwa bidii,
maombi tele ili majaaliwa tufike kilele....

Kitty Paws


       Upon the lake
The kitty paws
       Betray the coming wind
Their silence take
       No time for pause 
In judgment of my friend
       But in the wake
Is found a cause
       To jibe the sea again
And sail for sake
       Of hidden awes
That justify the end.

      ~by deborah burch



*kitty paws are the ripples on the water that indicate there is wind about...a sight for sore eyes when sails are in a dulldrom! ;) db...
