Deer (ku)

3 baby deer
in the morning rain
too young and curious
to run

Snow-Ku

Feathered flakes of snow

Miniature sky-divers

Humble are poets of winter.

The Truth (for Leonard)

she is almost naked
she removes her garter

now do you believe me?
she says

Hi Jean

You're very clean!
I've kept you awful close to me

You're the sheen
On my body.

Cultural Heyday, USA

Date my Ex
Pimp my Ride
Trick my Truck

Culture subverts

consumes itself

and burps.

Only Write

Only write
Give it a try
See if you might
Catch a bluebird's flight
In some far corner of the sky.

Coffee Thought

They say coffee loses its potency
The more you drink

Maybe it does
But try starting the day without it.

His Trip

The King of Spain
Slipped on adobe
While hunting
Elephants in Chobe

Had he not gone
And bust his hip
We'd have never heard
Of his careless trip.

The nature of miracles

If I brought myself
To write of
Me touching you touching me
I would have to think
More than it is politic
About your skin
And the nature of miracles.

Flying Together in Mind

One hour until touchdown
To face the world again
And its so-called reality

But it won't compare
To everything I found
In the freedom of air

With you here
Beside me.
