two cups, jasmine tea
red border decorates one
second, plain but full
Poem 20151215
standing in the wind
the sun is kind enough to
warm my back–thank you
Poem 20151213
in the dark–lamplit,
like dust mites in window light
the rain falls, a mist
Poem 20151204
in this darkened place
i put my arm around you
–sunlight finds a seam
Poem 20151202
tranquility
is what you’re supposed to compose
in tranquility
a recollection
of a feeling
that stirs that feeling anew
and using it like seed money
for a gambler
rolls the dice
and see what feeling
what words
expose themselves
the cheeky little bastards
i am breaking
rending
splitting down the middle
and the words are failing
the words are falling
the words fall
leaves, all
and i am in pieces
and no hands will
bother to reassemble me
Poem 20151201
hard to write poems
when your mouth dries up, dusty
and the words wither
Poem 20151125
the view at lunch
clouds sailing over freeway
cars streaming under
Poem 20151120
frost on sunlit grass
a pocket of mist, no geese
–autumn finally
Poem 20151113
fingers move across
the keys–but there on the screen
the lovers’ hands touch
