Whipped
by the
raging wind,
white horses ride
the
tide
until 
exhausted-
die upon the
shore

Inspired by Winslow Homer's paintings of the American seaboard at Maine

Two boys in a field
Just passing the afternoon
Idle words spoken
Aware of the song of bees
The future only a dream

Premium Member Cy the Cyclone

Cy the cyclone needed a home
Thought about Alaska, specifically Nome
Tornado Tom spoke of this with hilarity
Said to Hurricane Howl, how weird can Cy be?

Cy will be back any second, I truly bet
But the cyclone Cy had found himself a pet
A polar bear he named Winslow Wide
He stayed with him in Nome until the day he died.

Two men walk down a dusty street 
in Winslow, Arizona.
One places small white crosses 
at the curb and recites names 
while the other bears witness:

"Juan Fernando Lopez”  
“Presente!”
“Maria Anna Ramos”  
“Presente!”
“Jose Angel Fernandez”  
“Presente!”
“Restos mortales”  (Mortal remains)
“Presente!”

This continues until 
that day’s accounting 
of bodies found in the desert
is complete.

After the Flood

After the flood
cats and cars slipped under the long night,
only to drift backward
as if yesterday still pulled them in.

Old Charley Winslow died
before the flood,
but when the river threw itself
over the dike
he was seen to float out of a lower window.

Lots are gone.
Welcome mats and whistle pigs,
sheds and shingles,
plastic peddle carts.

Lots never made it back to yesterday.
Lots of underwater things.

Good To Hear and Fear Did Disappear

Linda said Winslow is a good cardiologist.  
She said it’s really good she only has the 
oxygen on her nose. Good news and we
are happy that she seems to be getting 
back to normal again.
Above is from our neighbor who once
worked in ICU where Jill has been. 


Good To Hear and Fear Did Disappear

This is good news and great to hear,
What will happen now my each fear,
About worried;
Had hurried,
Is all gone forever and did disappear.
