paper chains made by small hands
children's pure delight

In orange yellow cracks..

Tilting at windmills 
In the hope of

Little did I know that

Had the only giants 
To be found...

He whose life for the time being 
Is horrendously unyielding 
Shall be found tilting at every windmill ..

The earth is standing 
Upon its tail
I saw the chief Imam
Dash into the stall of the pork seller
Shouting "Hallelujah!"

The earth is tilting
Upon its axis......

Head Tilting

I’ve lost my up-to-date level of 
head tilting for the

You bring whimsical words
of glittering, gold-filled escapades 
and of sparkling star-dust dreams.
Dreams of gallant adventure and peril,
with a Don Quixote way of tilting windmills....

There you are! 

I thought you gone
      the way of the record player.

Toilet lid tied to your hand,
a light saber held up high,
tilting at metal windmills
on a Kansas prairie....

She is Trouble,
but she does not want to be.
She is a Loaded Gun,
That desires to protect.
But everyone who handles her
keeps tilting her in angles 
that point her 
straight at their heads....

Tender toes,
Treading tentativly,
Taking time, 
Trying tactfully. 
Tendons tremble,
Tension tightens,
Tilting, Twisting, 
Tripping, tumbling!
Terror. Trouble.
Touching totality.
Tomorrow. taken....

Ready material for a satorist-

Titans tilting, tangibly human windmills
Swaying sentries, harboring haloed witness 
  Lofted coal mines, timber canary cages  
            Whispers from redwoods

pushed to the cliff's edge
by demonic voices
one step shy 
of tilting over
plunging to my demise
I receded
a thin hope
pulling me back
transforming my tears
into diamond words
shining in the darkness...

Multi-coloured whirlygigs
and dangling dvd mobiles
have a playful role
protecting my potted
young Blueberry bushes
from hungry for worm birds
digging up the plants
I might even add a baby monitor
making the sculpture

Tilting my words
 —the meaning bends inside

When I peer through muddied eyes 
I see you
Quite endearing is that smile you bear
Waiting for my embrace and tender kiss
This place fills me with hope
I turn to glance at a passerby 
When tilting my head back to you
With a shine in these eyes
You.
Are.

A quiver
  a nod
the slightest toss
  of her hair

A purse of her lips
  a shy crease
playing at the edges of
  her sealed mouth

A gesture
  imperceptible
a moment's tilting
  of a finger

The most
  indeterminate
of steps
  forward now  

Stop
heart
  await...

Sounds of love
______________________________
I timber like the falling tree,
my knees weak and swaying
the slightest wind tilting my canvas
then a echo sends me to the waiting floor
that is what love feels like when you steal my heart.

Find me by the fountain bubble
Seeking sunny phrases from you
Lifting laughter from rough rubble
Tilting your chin to pour pink due
Begging bowls in lyrical glee
In their company please find me

To the piper's gate 
I rush headlong
With thoughts of fate 
I sing along

Such beauty in his lilting 
Such longing in his tune
So far over my heart is tilting 
His voice my only boon

Such wonder in his words
A heady mix of passions fire
He can even charm the birds
The piper of my hearts desire...

WINDMILL    IMAGES  


The old miller  remembers
Learning, turning, yearning

A lifetime of struggling
And wind arm-wrestling

Swimming as a fish four-finned
Sails  tilting at the quixotic wind

Land ships  with canvas filled 
Which  never leave port 

White painted sails in the breeze
On a journey to nowhere...

Lullaby 1

to the sailor of gentle soul
soft feathers cross night skies
and all brief moments of tenderness
spent like pennies in an arcade
he afloat, as a curl of wood rests on glass

summer has flown  
the owl calls and she waits
a woman alone with fireflies
tilting her glass in fond salute
to the green wandering sea...
