...Salmon pink horizon beguiles as I towel dry
Upon a muted canvas morphs hues at sunset.
The lake decants of its waders and pontoons.  
Mirrored waters tranquil—a soothing elixir.
Tidy up and make ...

Ground Clouds and Fish Smaze

...A mackerel sky fillets a fish scaled village,
an ear clapping, full sailed, fog

damp noses s...

Architecture of anthropological anteaters

...The day the hour,
The meat the shower,

Dinky waders reveal marvels on the sand.
Stoic eagles soar over the sky and expand.

Low Steps Into Sunrise

...A bottom land
where green is thread through 
with a trailing mud.

A late fruited decay seeps and smears

far out beyond the shore,
wearing my father's waders,

As a spontaneous Gemini, I took a happy risk
I latched my kayak onto my jeep and drove west
Spoke to people along the way

I walked along the jetty, on a rock-piled curvy path 
The day had grown to darkness, with no light there to be found 
When something...
