I see a new me,
It’s the emergence of twilight,
I’m trailed as I sail,
Across an ever-changing sea.

NOVEMBER
November saying hi
October says bye
Valediction for succession
Enter like a magician
Moving things from best
Bringing them to your chest
Edit and expunge the worst
Rewrite the trailed test
the night is the black down of a yearling
this sky a taunt of trailed stars
let me spin in a frosty lane,
head back,
too fast to count
and throw the dark to ground
Flame-leaved, to a fireside's
Warmth of embracing.
Charming trailed, now is Autumn
Cozier facing!
No sounds, which time of year
Rainy, whilst rug-lain
Could ever be heard to dull
That crackle; heart's gain!
The moon
put on her wig
of stars
that trailed across
the universe.
If I get
stuck
out on the sun
please don't
try to comb
me out.
I am the farmer
that
plowed
the field of stars
in your
field of vision.
Wanderd corridors
of lighted rooms
Rutted and trailed
over years of steps,
Leading and led,
Seeing and fed,
Noting the moving things,
Hearing the rooster rings,
Familar faces
In roving places
Waiting our next touch.
…Money…in a voice that rustled.
No sir, I do not have any money.
How about getting a job?
…Change…in a voice that creaked.
Sorry sir, I don’t make the rules.
How about running a campaign?
…Help…in a voice that trailed.
Sir, how do I do that?
I most value today
what I used to walk by
And stop to revisit
what trailed from behind
Those moments once squandered
when offered again
In joyous acceptance
—I embrace from within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
My best friend and I
Ran barefoot through the garden
Stirring the petals
Her hair tied back in two braids
Her skirt trailed out behind her
We sat by the stream
With our feet in the water
Talking and laughing
Until a pink rose I plucked
And wove it into her dark braids
Takes his time in sunshine,
Tentatively stepping.
Tranquil summer follows,
Trailed by its vivid blooms.
Too sweet fragrance abounds!
True value takes awhile,
Typical of rainbows.

He walked through the sands at Ayres,
playing a slow grinding song
of regret and broken dreams.
The moaning groan of the bagpipes
spewed bitterness and pride
in a twisted tune.
His footsteps trailed the sands behind
a steady line of sorrow
and loneliness for kin.
The beauty of woman shone in her eyes,
And sweet scented lavender called my name,
As silent kisses began another game.
My mind so lost where her beauty is found,
As whispers trailed into those plaintive sighs,
Revealing her breath is the only sound.

His eyes...
a walk through the forest,
irises drowning in the sunlight.
I had never seen such sincerity in a person's eyes before,
until I met him.
His eyes were trailed by his lips that widened in the most satisfying way,
displaying gleaming teeth.
He was so pure,
so real...
the speedphone in your head
sparky and light trailed
as a dancer with closed steps
you open doors in the night,
sometimes a ghost, a lost thought
your pages are torn and mixed,
burnt as a nut, you`re a paperchase
of loose clues, brillant and wild,
running with the comets to dawn
This is where we lost it
This is where we parted
Life usually has a passkey
Living has its code
With every twist and turn
unveiling a new chapter
revealing a lifeway
She walked half the way
He trailed off the path
fainting with a broken will
Both fade off the trail
It didn’t matter what the titles were,
but that I read them
It didn’t matter what the author said,
but that I listened
It didn’t matter that his verse trailed off,
the pages yellow and torn
It didn’t matter that the world forgot
—what one man put to words
(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
Our
grandson
(then age four)
trailed behind his
parents as we stood
by our door. At their car,
he turned. . . Something was amiss.
He bounded back, climbed our porch steps
(with my husband's aid), then reaching up
to me, said, "I forgot the hug and kiss!"

Racing the dark from Albuquerque to Flagstaff
old questions trailed behind me
The highway marked with broken dreams
of searchers long ago
As Gallup filled my rearview mirror
the sun reached out and grabbed me
My last horizon dropping fast
—the finish line aglow
(Flagstaff Arizona: February, 2019)
The stanza was written in trailed off silver, circle over circle was wound to form silvery words, embossed around them though the palace sheltered paintings of razor-thin wings bespeckled with blood imprisoned sonnets that zip and fly with the hub, palatial and so endearing, the disembodied whispers are like paint peeling.
I died
And my heart cried
She told me I fled
I am my soul
I lost
For my soul’s cost
She said I kill most
I am my heart
I came
Searching to claim
She asked me my name
I am my face
I failed
And so we sailed
She thought we trailed
I am her demon
I loved
Designed and carved
She had my soul
I am my all.
pretty pink blossoms
hanging over the water ~
swans trailed by ripples
ducks touch down on lake
blossoms fall in the water ~
wispy clouds sail by
blooms glide on ripples
water reflects azure sky ~
fish nibble blossoms

The boat plied along an emerald sea
The only noise the lapping so gently
The white sail set by a puff of breeze
As our love’s gentle sigh would please
You trailed your hand in the sea
And the gulls wheeled as we could see
I told a joke and you loudly laughed
A perfect day again we wished would last.

I wake in a world of uncertainty
The mind ponders its way
Striving for answers
That left my heart dismayed
Clues were never trailed
For my wonders to be unveiled
The hearts condition is frail
To Loves affections in detail
Look past the sky
May my answers lay there?
To what complicates this storm
For death to arise unfair
Form:
purpl'd eyes heaven
with tongue cloven
met mystic malady
embroidered ensconced epilepsy
dripping damped desires
jittery earth admires
saline liquid loitering
deflowered dusts damping
scrunched sans spooky
moistened mists melt
Jove's jumpy jets
twain trailed crest
dull disease dances
later lost traces

In an octopus's garden withyou
As thewords trailed offand I left the building
I found myself thinking of Anthony
Then Isstarted to run to thetaxi rank
My heart in mymouth
I remember someone saying if youever think ofhim
youshould get out quick.
Ihailed a taxi got in and said elephant please
as we pulled out ilooked inhis mirror
And saw fire.
