And the cheese, smaller than bees?

Cages

Rise! 
You are 
outgrowing 
that smaller shell; 
Smash breakable glass!

Cages were

real.

            As I get older
          My wish lists get

Secure

Smaller rock suspended
On high between
Two mountainous boulders
Firmly fitted secure 
Earth shakes
Bolders feel the force
Oh! Rock can you endure

Come the mighty night
with stars and moon blazing bright.

Predators prey with sharp sight.
Smaller creatures cringe, affright!

The Eye of the I

The Eye

The eye
belongs to the I
the eye
is part of the I
the eye
smaller than the I
but the eye
is part of the I
still.

Graying of the Artist

time frosted the eyes
put buck shot to his voice box
they still came in flocks

the stage grows smaller
into yesterday they walk
hearts become fluted

Fool's Gold

A bigger fish,
a smaller pond

A greater truth
alludes

The water shallow,
banks now void

Of fishermen
bemused

Plastic Surgery

When my body begins to burgeon, 
I go to see my plastic surgeon. 
His magic tucks and nips 
will make me smaller hips;
but he just smiles and says, “Stop splurgin'.”

Stone On Water

Stone on water
Stone and feather
Does stone like water return 
	To its natural form?
Or like wind does it just change
	Into smaller and smaller divisions of self?

Her Prize Gave Rise

Much smaller than her Mom's full size
she once took Mom's bra as a prize.
When placed on her tips
it fell to her hips
then dipped to sad land on her thighs.

The Black Swan From Left Field

We didn't see it coming
the black swan from left field
made our world smaller today than yesterday
while we scapegoated the man made
it was the viruses and plagues.

Silently Contemplating Smaller Things

lyrical embellishment 
      of a crescending scratch
packs
     its things, ready to run
builds its place
     among the nothings
               of an empty woods

Bundles of Sticks

I will chop the tall tree into a big bundle of sticks
Smaller bundles I will pile near the house as winter approaches
So it may warm my family and food when it is needed

Home

The wick of home, green 
Against dark rich urgency
Smaller, sharper, 
Each, every thread sings
Out into crystalline air
With lungs roaring, sucking, gasping 
for this

Tall Men Overshadow Small Men Who Overshadow Smaller Men Who Are Overshadowed By Tall Men

tall men overshadow the small men
in great sadness we all fall down
joy abounds from the inside of hearts and souls
tears fall like stars
onto the cracked pavements of old

Warmed By Wool

Stitched in yarns of neutral gray,
I fashion a robe from wool 
To cover me against icy breeze
And by donning a smaller size,
The wrap becomes a tight hug.

Little

Little by little
The fish bowl evaporates
The candle flickers yet smaller
The gold fish skeleton
Stares at the burnt candle wick
No one notices
The old man
Died last week anyways

Happy

Sometimes I forget
That I want to be happy
I sit alone thinking
that this is all that could be happening

So much potential
All I need is a spark
A bit of momentum
Or a smaller heart
