Oaks

Overhearing her shriek
At the trees, he 
Keeps gardening, whispering
Soothing sounds to the soil

All About the Time

Time is not ours to run 
we run out of a time 
overhearing sometimes 
timeless legends 
of similar kind
in pursuit of onece own time

Overhearing

Being out of shadow, the half-shadow
Whispering to the ears of air:

‘Go forth, where there is an azure meadow
And tell to the boundless desire:
Would remain nothing, my dear,
But, immortal is Shadow.’

Hey Dad

I would have bought a pony for her
but I never had a daughter.
Maybe I would have sought-out a unicorn
in some magical realm –
I would have tried.

I see her now
she smiling at her loving father
a Princess in a dolls house.

My adult son
(who turned out just great
despite my lame parenting),
overhearing my soliloquy
said:
“Hey Dad!”
