mountains on mountains

mountains upon mountains 
cradled in the arms of pink sky 
light breaks lonely night 
birds wake and fly 

I’ll sit here in silence 
in the grasshoppers I’ll confide 
not a word left to tell you 
under mountains I cannot hide 

worth regret in only the city 
passing faces fresh and old 
lights persist through day and night 
defying all the sky has told 

upon mountains on mountains 
at last I shall sleep 
without your interruption to my dreams 
in peace may creep

I AM ANGER

fists of cracked stone, palms turning leather 
words left to linger behind your pursed lips 
rise with my fever - who fastens the tether 
no second to consider your letters on ships
I reign to set fire your mind’s dreary weather

She is Lost

I know she is lost 
but those lost 
can be brought home 

I want to print 
one hundred 
missing flyers

but how she’d hate 
to be found
believes she knows 
this twisting trail 

Like her mother’s 
weary face 
awaiting a simple knock 

If I linger 
in her swelling shadow 
will I be swallowed? 

If I dispel 
my every urge 
to search and save 
will she forget me? 

If I rush 
toward her trembling arm 
golden cape draped from my neck 
will she resent me? 

Missing pets 
might stray to long 
surrounding sidewalks 
turn strange 

She is far from 
a mangy mutt 
still she prowls in pursuit 
of his fleeting praise 

How does he have her 
blindly convinced 
he is steering 
the right direction 

How does he have her 
mindlessly certain 
his hostile affection 
is truer than us 

Us who never screamed 
who seldom swore 
would not dare sneer 

It is unsettling 
to remain upset 
I have lost her 

She is the one 
trudging through 
the disorienting fog 

She is the one 
facing the perilously unknown
evergreen grove 
miles from home 

I am only the one 
who knows 
she is lost

Resilience

I’m so proud to be happy 
because I never waited 
for life’s thunderstorms 
to pass 

I have smiled 
beneath torrential rains 
sharp flashes of lightning 
with skies miserably overcast 

I did not wait 
upon a friendly summer evening
where every cloud had travelled past my view 
to rejoice or to rest 

I have learned to seek solace 
without a single star in the sky 
in cruel cold and exhausting heat 
my breath does not quicken 

I am content because sorrow is familiar 
like the house which I’ve slept my whole life inside 
my fragmented spirit was never mended 
with a show of sunshine
