Without a shake
of the head
or turned up nose

The truest form
of rejection
—the eyes

Before disappearing dews
Spark like diamonds when sundrenched
sweeping grassland turned to be
More velvety and verdant

no one comes and no one goes
life as it is, gently flows
that is, if our heart’s at peace
soul having turned a new leaf

Country Road

Long time!
Long time ago
I had not seen you
Turned memories..
Of childhood
Ah! Oh! Bless you! How old!
Country road.

sobs turned louder crying
swooned burned mind felt
sorrow floated hung there
shadow like unclear
it was mid noon

communication was king
in this day and age
cell phones replace relatives

 Once played a soldier on the big screen
 But he turned to booze and women
Living large on Two and a Half Men

Beneath

Pride
Turned down
Wondering where
Things may have slipped
Looking out
For the icy covenant beneath my feet
I breathe.

Breathing Through Winter

Pride
Turned down
Wondering where 
Things may have slipped
Looking out
For the icy covenant beneath my feet
I breathe

My Life

A few years ago 
I turned the corner of my life.
I remember those friends 
who did not arrive
Thus,
I enjoy every day.

their paths crossed, both then  turned back
eyes locked, their hearts ignited

with an isotope of cinnamon,
no longer into people making,
my attention turned to baking.

Temperature dip
urban leaves turned
Autumn, sniffing around
for a place to settle
no Farmer's Market
in San Francisco today.

Love does not walk
Hand in hand 
On a one way street.
She had already
Turned the corner
There was someone else to meet.

3 black churches 
turned into smolder
a flint-toothed ogre 
munches a wooden cross
in the shadows
of his black soot mind

Nothing cuts as deep
as a back that’s turned

Denying your existence

I’ve been to
a few more funerals
since I turned sixty.

Fortunately, none 
of them have been mine.

Moment of Us

as the night turned dark
and the moon came out,
Felt like angel ithuriel,
nothing existed
except for this moment.
and us.
