A Universe's Song

Though I am the algorithm 
for dust into dust,
And they may say life arose
simply because it must

In my body, long-dead suns slumber on-
And in my heart, beats a universe’s song.

Still-Life With Fly

If you were a pear, I'd be a compote. If you were an ice cream, I'd be a float. If you were an apple, I'd be a pie. If you were a picnic- I'd be a fly.

Heaven's Drunkard

Heaven's drunkard is the butterfly,
Tipsy on flowers, Mr. flutter-on-by:
Papier-mache wings wafting along,
He flies on currents of invisible song.

He could stop but the flowers are so many,
Beckoning with pastel faces of plenty;
At night he dreams of hot-house bouquets,
And dances with them, a fine polonaise.
