what's done

it's night
look over your shoulder
look at the past day's toil 
what do you have to show for your sweat your 
tears?

if every droplet of sweat
every tear
was shed for something
for someone, 
it could even be yourself,
then drift away to a restful slumber and 
dream

Look ma! I'm rich!

Warm gold under my tiny bare feet,
Why should I keep my bounty discreet?
So please, look in this little green pail! 
A gazillion sand dollars. Careful, they’re frail!

and so words not said
like rusty nails through my palms
      glare crimson, ablaze

solstice grievance

monarchs sail plashless
while her shards of deceit pierce
my aorta, ripe

fly free, falcon

ridge obscure burnt slate
leap of faith a second wind
drop and plumes spread wide

winter's unfeeling river

sea of white -- one white 
behold the howls the screaming
of callous wind gusts

interlocked fingers

tentative outreach
heartbeat ignites yearning love
her soft hand clasps mine

back of a pickup

feet dangle, rain boots
drip murky droplets black gold
a branch caves then snaps
