Another Friday assigned
the number thirteen has ended
uneventfully or maybe it just seems
that way to me whose days from that
of my birth if they had hues
have been a mix of black and somber gray
like films produced in the distant past
as if I’ve been cast in the part of Dorothy
in a colorless Kansas though no tornado
ever came to carry me away over the rainbow
There are no gorgeous greens or radiant reds
gold as gleams in the strands of your hair
or beautiful blues like the azure of your eyes
unlike for you who luck has bathed in the
brilliance of her warm and luminous light
What is it like to live in the Land of Oz
where the world is so wondrous and bright?

Hope the days pass quickly, and uneventfully.
Until inner rhythms in harmony,
create unique peace, satisfaction,
and a sense of belonging.
A mystery,
whose location and origin is felt,
but not understood.
When kindred spirits become close,
and play once again.

Sometimes in your eyes I see
Reflections of what I dream could be.
But, then life's mirror tells me, "No!
That's somewhere you can never go."
So, sometimes mirrors can reflect
things we never should expect.
And, if just friends we're meant to be,
Let God's sweet gift last eternally.
You are you, and I am me
and life may pass uneventfully.
Yet, we cannot see beyond today
and hope lives in another day.
So, dear sweet friend, let's live today
and let tomorrow find it's way
so when and where it all may end
we never lose God's gift as friends.

starvation starts with a body
to fill the cavernous
hollows formed by
out-jutting ribs and Ethiopian
belly:
thin but distended
a body to warm the concussed
and frightened;
the
meadow lark lying still
on the dew soaked morn
grass
hidden but yellow
unnoticed
and asleep
three hours. alone.
silent in the reeds
while the snake rustles: sneaking
uneventfully
through a downy, Moorish fog
father in the rocking chair
watching four, unaware
of his vacant, vaulted cathedral gut
shrinking, sinking - sewn up shut.
starvation always starts with a body.
