Maggie's going crazy
Barking at the trees.
Got to get the camera
See what I can see.
Think there's a raccoon there.
Think maybe there's . . .

I said goodbye to a friend today.
It was time, I guess, and she lay on her side
With a final twitch of her tail to say
It’s okay, and then . . .

The morning sky awakens spring
Blue palette painted pale
That cannot fail
Though summer’s light is brighter
Blue and gray.
Then autumn carries hints of rust
Of trust betrayed . . .

Say, summer, see
Stars softly shine
And stray behind
The sun-split night.
Say summer, why
The sand-shade sighs
Against the sea’s
Surrender.
Say summer, sell
The scented . . .

The notes of discord hard betray
The wounds that will not go away
The bitter sound, the frozen ground
The stone that has no words to say.
But sweet, remember sunlight still

It snowed
A lot
And then
Those bushes
By the front door
Died.
June
Coming soon
I think
I hope
That maybe
Those bushes
Survived.

After,
I’ll see you after,
After the fall
And always
All ways
Falling
Evermore.
After,
We pleaded after,
After it all
And always
All . . .

Tuesday’s child is full of grace
She wears the lace white skirt
In church she fiddles fidgets
Whistles words where children
Should be seen not heard
And chocolate on her face . . .

Four thirds pie
That’s one and a bit;
Will you cut it into five?
And don’t fight
If they’re not all alike.
Four thirds pie are
Stop . . .

The colors are gray.
The box, brown cardboard grayed with age.
The tin inside.
She scrapes the layers of dust, a hint of light
Of days gone by.
It rattles.
Dry.

I was warm until you said “Let’s go
For a walk” in the wind and the rain.
I was warm until you rolled over in bed
And pulled all the covers away.
I was warm until your frozen feet
Sent . . .

“What, a seam like a carpenter sews?”
“Sewed surprisingly well. Got a penchant for stitches.” . . .

I looked to the sky for images
Cloud-painted high
In spring-cleaned splendor
Cried
Because the rain has washed
The wonder all away.
I looked to summer sun for promises . . .

On the flip side
The light side
The night side
The dark side
The hard side
The easy side
Between the sides
Is my side.
The flip side
Is this side
Is that . . .

And moon’s pale snow is yellow ed
By the haze over the green .
It’s growing dark my love. I’ve seen
The sky turn slow from . . .

Is blacker than gray and it’s boiling
With sounds in the distance that may
Be the howl of a dog then the roiling
Black column is evil and . . .
