Laboring in obscurity…
my pen a vagabond
Hitchhiking through my consciousness,
my thumbprint worn and gone
Wishing past the hoping,
spitting into the wind
All roads end in the desert
—darkness my best friend
(Dreamsleep: June, 2019)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the night exhales~
a slow, silver breath
etching itself onto glass.
morning presses close,
a blurred thumbprint
of gold.
between them,
the world suspends~
half ice, half fire,
whispering: Wait.
Topography- embrace its meaning
Open roadways- visually gleaning
State boundaries- further we'd proceed
Connect-the-dots- we'd follow their lead
Deepened creases- a wider landscape
Artful tearing- revived with clear tape
Thumbprint dirt stained- unplanned souvenirs
Revisited- discovered frontiers

sun bronzed burgundy
bearing the thumbprint of god
like garnet sunset skies odd
beautiful climbing
warmed by rich gold rays of life
blithe above green strife
thrilling to breezes
with memories of moonlight
within bluebirds' sight
clematis coyly
attracts stares from everywhere
at beauty in air

I
bamboo curve, sun-bleached—
still smells of lakeweed and sweat.
his thumbprint remains.
II
reel jammed with old line—
ghost-tug of the one that snapped
his last muttered curse.
III
rust hooks in the shed—
nowhere left to cast but dreams
where the big ones bite.
Every person is unique
And so revealed by his thumbprint
An undeniable identity
And so fate may be different
And so wealth, power, fame
May be different too
And so satisfaction and gratefulness
Is rare
And so jealousy
Is obvious
But
To compare with the top
To compare with the bottom
You're still lucky
To have something in hands
Your family and loved ones
Love and affection is invaluable
Because of its uniqueness
And solemnity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grammy’s pearl necklace~
still warm from her collarbone,
now cool in my hands,
each bead a closed eye.
Pop’s pocket watch still ticks,
though no one winds it~
his thumbprint smudged
on the glass like a ghost.
Mom's wedding ring
left on the windowsill,
collecting sunlight
and fingerprints.
These things I cherish
but never use,
these small,
heavy ghosts.
No two persons are the same
An evidence of the thumbprint
Tolerence may be the only solution
Look before you leap
Say yes enterprise
A life long investment
Sometimes a yes man
Can be a a smart guy
Sometimes a yes man
Can be a lucky guy
To be welcome everywhere
Say yes before you comment
Say yes before you complain
Say you'll try before you refuse
Say you'll try your best before you give up
Say you'll try to surrender to God
Before you betray him
In deep specks, the sea flashlight sways.
sapphire flecks, and azure splashing.
Screes’ speckled satins.
Sadness fluid in the bowed beldam.
sprinkle its stretch into the shards
as her wings curled in dismay.
She had morphed into a mountainous waterfall.
a stratum full of opal swords clasped her down.
similar to a thumbprint
Gloved and cloaked in a conundrum
While roaming, she spoke a light
of transforming stone into a mist
