An Irish wolfhound from Londonderry
was sold to a rancher in Tucumcari
Yesterday: Knolls and lakes
Today: Cactus and snakes
His Celtic heart’s turned sad and contrary...

blazing snake feeder
a dead, bouncy insect flies
inside the tall grass

slitter and slide by
hiding in the grassy knolls
snake hunting his prey

Pitter patter on with perfect ambiguity 
Knowing only the knolls of the knave
Brave, brave sir, mam, beware
Aristotle to Aristocracy, I dare
Peasants pair and say thou prayers
The dusk-walker approaches
You are now, the forgotten little roaches...

Kindling a balmy flame

Knolls lovely on both banks

Key to the cure of my

Knee pain, as the river

Knocks on the door inside

Knots dissolve in orange

Kneel I reflexively

winters foliage
blankets trees and grassy knolls
water runs amidst

towering white pines
standing in complete solace
above canyon ridge

melting ice pellets
pumps from bleeding hearts vineyard 
sowing escalates





So Glad Winter Is Over   LOL

From far away
Does she breathe
A life into this broken heart
For simply being a star above

Her soft spoken ways
Her voice so sweet
She has become
Heavens treat

I wish one day
To kiss this soul
Hand in hand
Walking through the knolls

Flowers surround this lovely tale
Of my dream, built on white wide sails
For oceans away, I must go
To kiss a lass, I cherish so...

Like fragile leaves are children’s souls.

Sweet innocence can never last,

and winds of spiteful words tear holes.

Like fragile leaves are children’s souls.

With joy they fall to grassy knolls,

But met with hate, they wither fast.

Like fragile leaves are children’s souls;

Sweet innocence can never last.

My dancing spirit traveled with the wind to prepare a way for Yuma.

My spirit travels with the wind over the tall pine trees, the mighty oak trees, and the grassy knolls, past the Mississippi, and the Nanih Waiya Lake to the sacred Nanih Waiya Mound.

There my spirit prayed to Hashi Ikba to protect the soul of my son from Impashilup and lead him to the passage of his ancestors.

Splendidly you enter
Awakening desires
Beautifying demeanor
With vibrant flowers,

Swimming in oceans
Donning bikinis
Worshipping the sun
On sandy beaches,

Charming buoyant knolls
Swaying golden pastures
Attracting all lovers
Breezing with colors,

Skiing down the hills
Whirling frigid air
Serene white attraction
Shrouding vegetation,

You are my seasons
My every reason
Yearning your arrival.

AFTER  SNOW  MELT

Their burden shed, trees  now  svelte -
Hidden beauties in luxuriant fir mantles 
Stripped, sunning  in balm light.

Grass, spruce, stream,
Once  blank and touchless, 
Crowd together, tactile, seamless.

Tall knolls the Leveller had  smoothed
Shallow  hollows had smothered ;
Landscape has  fresh verticality.

Waking birds fill the sleepy silence.  
Skyful white replaced by blue  vault.
God has lost his achromacy....

Hot tamales door to door
Knocking on doors along the sun baked street
Ten inch sub rotting on the dusty ground
Souls breaking under my feet
In pile of money the politician rolls
Malnourished beg for more
Poaching saints from grassy knolls
Black ants devour the ranch covered sub they’ve found
Sewer gasses emerging from fractured concrete
From the skull of a timber rattler crawls a paraplegic spider
Corn tortillas rolled on the bathroom floor...

rain showers the land
displays knolls of green grasses
tarsiers free park play

When the sunshine's warmth upon my face,
I think of a most beautiful, magical place.
Rolling meadows of grassy knolls.
Trees with leaves that never fall.
Split rail fences cross the horizon.
Lillies that grow up tall, as their rising.
Colorful blossoms of yellow and white,
pushing their way up to the sunlight.
A beautiful sight, to the beholder.
Even more so with the sun on your shoulders.
A paradise of peaceful bliss.
What could ever be better than this?
Your kiss....
