Maybe I mean to smoke
might not style and steams

Years That Ask, Years That Answer

Question marks
fall like snow
on shoulders bent
with seeking.
Hollow caverns
where certainty
once lived

I'd like to portray
Are best rediscovered
On the rainiest day
The kettle it steams
The teabag is dry
The sofa side table
Is catching your eye
Biscuits like friends

A Walk Through a Small Park
...My lady friend and I sit on stumps. When she sings
she rings the woods with a monarch's butterfly wings.
A crowd of bikers
on foot as hikers
in thick with woods
unsaddles moods.

In the morning light, my bones feel heavy,
Each breath is a whisper, a plea to be free.
The sun spills gold, but I see only gray,
A weary heart trudging through another day.

the sky and sea form one vast, gray tableau
the sun is nothing but a weak, background glow
the scene draws me, as if hypnotically.

Wormwood smell
...I came back weary from the distant road,
Yet I returned singing, calling it "homeland."
Golden plains, stretching into the blue sky,
I longed for the scent of your wormwood.
Soft, dusty earth, sw...

Blanket of white snow
Forlorn the trees sag
Drooping branches bare
Crystals of frost creep
Yet it is warm
The fire burns hot
The blanket tight
The coffee steams
