my vase, all seasons
spring
my vase is ready
on the broad window sill~
spring rains bring beauties
summer
my vase overflows
on the broad window sill~
sunlight warms petals
autumn
my vase stands silent
on the broad window sill~
leaves drift down like thoughts
winter
my vase gathers dust
on the broad window sill~
snowlight fills the room

Bury Me
Bury me under the tree
Just mentally, so you can forget
Easily where exactly
I lie, and what tree is that
Bury me like I’m a seed
Put me into the pot
I’ll be a pepper, or an orchid
Just anything what you want
It’s nice on a window sill
I don’t have to talk or wait
So it’s not with me you will
Speak

Man As Sill
Selected unknowingly
unwillingly
To protect and provide
for the world ahead
Expected towards greatness
at no fault of his own
Yet selfish ranks are ineligible
unfathomable
The careless mixing
A job for unrefined fellows
Out to grab a piece
to bring home
for wonder time
While the steadfast
Keeps clean of jilted roses
bloody next steps and promises
out of reach
Yet the sill
enigmatic and demure
offers foundation
and a firm grip to

Treasure Chest
Calling silly and fun angels!
Come together and giggle with me!
Share stories of being free!
Calling all silly and fun angels.
Come together and mend my broken pieces.
So I can be silly and free with you.
Silly angels, please point me in the right direction.
To find the silly, joyful and loving creator.
Why do you keep pointing there?
Your centre?
Why are

Window Sill
I have a window without a window sill
My eyes wander outside when the crickets sing
Birds refuse to come into this part of town
I try to escape but my window has grills
Those who live nearby cannot, will not know me
Residing in a one story tower, still
And when it rains, droplets flicker towards

Pigeons Red Lollipop On Window Sill
Pigeon’s red lollipop on a wet window sill
I gave it big licks until I had gobbled my fill
Some naysayers warned it might make me ill
Did you see it drop from the pigeon’s bill?
I did, lied my dishonest cousin Jill.
My sister gave her a look that could kill.
I picked up a pen with a feathered quill.
The

Window Sill
Damn the window sill
It's never needed
It's filled with arze
most times impeded
And rubbed for dust
in times gone fleeted
For lost time served
in sense depleted

Standing On the Sill of Dead Window
No tranquility in the morning breeze
No serenity in the rising sun
No romanticism I find in the drizzling
No love of colors wraps my heart in the brightest moon
Now venomous snake is crawling on the living paths
Democracy is now hugging the hidden ghost rider of imperialism
Religion is killing the independence of thoughtful conscientious humanity
Poisonous evaporation of living

Blood On the Pane, Prints On the Sill
Kinfolk pleading with me say "John"
"Keep dancing with the devil
And you'll wind up gone"
There ain't no need to take alarm
I've got my brand new
Blue suede dancing shoes on
Wake up early in the morning
To get the jump on me
I can be found underneath
Any old sycamore tree
Pulling on a

Baby's First Flight
If so inclined with reservations
Amniotic baby will float on water
Just around the corner of a smile
Embryological y correct you could say
Adequately enclosed in fluid aquatic
Practicing goo goo and gaga for mommy
Clothes would be nice
Naked is better
A hotel will suffice
Is this a room with a womb?
With an ashtray to steal?
With a balcony overlooking tomorrow?
A window to

Thrill Seen On Window Sill
Thrill Seen On Window Sill
Many ways we can measure a thrill,
And you may see it on window sill;
Have felt within,
Again and again,
Until had been buried under the hill.
