stranger


he walked on ahead
said nothing of importance
and danced with the wind

he danced with the wind
said nothing of importance
and walked on ahead

he walked on nothing
stayed ahead of importance
and whirled with the dance

that are lost to all mankind
and beautiful still

pebbles


small stones form shadows
on the road beneath the sun
cooling the ant's path

rains

rains

unleashed with thunder
flood my yard with a new sea
of brilliant green grass

thunder

echoes at night and
attacks from all directions
I am still standing

writing

it's all for my fun
to see if these old squiggles
turn into new worlds

listening

when you see inside
the beauty of the whole world
shines forth from the depths

poems are problems
because they're gathered in books
and read as a whole

lamp


I've turned pages here
in this chair with this great light
to many new worlds

alphabet

the letters gather
like holy eagles nesting
in a raging storm

alphabet

the letters gather
like holy angels hidden
in a storming rage

conflict


mouths move when hearts won't
constant babble rules our tongue
silence rules our blood
