don't move to fast
you will run out of gass
make life last
it a long task
its a long show

The Slow Toothless Mole

In one labor of Star-nosed Moles
Traveled a slower toothless cow
The last in line, all that she sees
Is sore gums and molasses now!

A spiced vegtable stew
A soused mackerel
Mint lamb shanks with barley
A nice slowed cooked rice
Provolone cheese

Winter's Slow Embrace

through drip
and downspout
trickle the earth
collects all
water from
the house
pulling it
tightly to
her body
in a slow
embrace

Just never make me so low.
Look forward again
To when you will make me glow.
Please accept the love I show.

Your child has 10 fingers and toes
Unfortunately
the are growing out of its face
Bonus really good at waving
and impersonating dandelions

relaxes my senses
my heart sings as it beats

Like steam I float and drift, aimlessly
dripping like warm bottled water
spilt onto a floor, leaving the lazy
footprints of a dawdling daughter.

Heard the word
Flags have unfurled
My double posts
Gone round the world
Have patience friends
For wayward signals
They are as dicey
As worm wiggles

By rope-in-tree he would go
