    must be chewed
    in several rounds
    swallowed with

    demons lur...

The Fledgling Finally Flies

...Another day has slipped away,
     the Sun has come and gone.
And in the night I hope I might,

Veiled in the mysteries of light

by white teal-roofed bungalows,
resting after my journey.
Autumn's early bloom

The silence deafens
as brigh...

My First Love

...My  First Love :
I picked the pen in my hand and move back in my past.
Sunsets gathers clouds to the horizons.
But the sky Above 
is clear 
And cold 
The stars a songless scattering.
The brimm...

Ladylove

...A breast of rocks and woods with no song
Four hundred miles of pines that endure
And a path of chocolate sand with only hoof-prints.
Cherries are red but no one comes to pick them 
And grass here...

Of a crumbling cliff, beneath me
Is nothing but cloud and indistinct shape,
A bird or two, laughing at my wingless back,
My songless throat.  I spread my arms

Ever suspect, dismissed and derided, 
For long has been the shy a songless bird,
That Darwin dismissed as ‘odd state of head’,

Beautiful, petite, smart
Widowed at 28 with three small children
And people said, "Be extra good, your mother is fragile."
