caught in undertows
 depression hunts like a beast ~
  one more empty chair

Moon Tides

Undertows sweeping;
Currents pulling;
Pictures flash by;
Like silent film on fast forward.
Knowing not else;
I struggle to endure but;
What- nay, why;
Weeping eyes.
Warriors don’t cry;
rebellion to tyranny
obedience to God
Help me understand

Vanishing, The Sky's Majestic Blue

Pristine views of sunset's glows,
Where sky flashes out its best,
No storming waters or undertows
Just beauty sinking in the west;
Nature wraps this scene in splendor,
Fading tree lines give gasps anew,
Day's demise a beautiful tail-ender
Vanishing, the sky's majestic blue.

March Stew

Mornings are littered
with gnawed husks,
charred mouse-tails. 

March is burning its strew.
The limbless
braid a thawing earth
into knotty threads.

On wet lines flannel shirts 
poach in a warming smaze. 
while gust-hogs 
still attack the hedgerows.

In coddled kitchens
muggy boiled cabbages
envelope 
a pottage of sky.

Stubby snuffles 
herald undertows 
of new marrow.

April paddles in
with wet crumbs 
and buttercups.
