Earthquake
Forceful, unforgiving claws, deep in the earth they dig
Upwards, upwards, breaking more than simply twigs
Cracking crevices, zags, zigs
A roar, a shake, a crick, crig...

A Windy Day
It is snowing out
The wind is blowing
Spreading on the ground
The wind is blowing
While the snow zigs zags
The wind is still blowing
With the snow fallen
Falling to the ground
In a deep[ pile
Spreading evenly
All the trees boughs white
No longer bare and cold
They are dre3ssed up warm
With the cover of snow
Like a white blanket...

How Does Life Go
How does life go?
Does it go straight ahead?
Full throttle? Ever onward and
upward? All systems go
all of the time? For some it may
But not for me
~ That's not the way
I say that life zigs and zags
that it wiggles and wobbles
and waddles. It goes up;
it comes down. It spins
around; it cries and falls down
~ It gets up again too...

A Wilderness of Mirrors
Apparitions behind every mottled rock.
Shaded countenance surreptitious like shadows.
Fractured slivers and fragments boast -
On wall, ceiling and floor.
Splattered drop cloth - reflective dread.
Fun house of Zeus,
The zigs and zags -
Thundering fakes, illuminated lies.
She claws her face.
Crags of wilderness.
Deep etched drama.
Whirlwind’s not glue.
One face.
One mirror.

In Line With Time
There is a truth I've come to comprehend,
Life is full of twists and turns,
And outs and ins,
And ups and downs,
And zigs and zags,
And curves and bends,
And though it sometimes seems to follow guides,
Blind fate alone decides how long it lasts
Or where it wends.
Another truth I've learned of late,
One not controlled by Fate or trends,
Is that Time follows a different line,
One that just goes straight…
And never ends.

The Ambulance
Its siren is annoying;
Its flashing light disturbs.
Its speed propels pedestrians
To back up to the curbs.
It zigs and zags on city streets
Ignoring lights turned red,
Determined to respond, no matter
What might lie ahead.
A heart attack or vertigo,
An accident or fall;
A suicide or murder –
The attendant’s seen it all.
To passersby, its presence
Is forgotten in a minute
Except, perhaps to thank their stars
They’re not the patient in it....
