To see
Horizons begin /
in a cloud or on a ridge,/
bending light, earth, hopes.

Sometimes
Sometimes, you must dough /
What you knead to dough. /
Then you roll with it.

Stalk
The rose does not bloom. /
The morning glory entwines, /
blooms on borrowed stalk.

Husks
We are all broken /
husks, shells dead to living /
when we suckle hate.

Canvas reveals world /
From six decades in the past. /
Pigment dreams of Jim’s.

Jump
One small jump for friends. /
One last leap for summer fun. /
High above, stars wait.

Cozy
The auto cozy /
Keeping the mobile dreams warm /
Fringed on the edges.

Imagine, if you will…
Imagine, if you will,
A people so shrill,
They scream for their rights,
But are ready to kill.
Responsibility — not theirs
And they have no cares,
Except to fight,
When asked to community share.
To wear a simple mask
Is an onerous task,
And with all their might,
Many refused to get vaxxed.
They have their excuses
Or claim it’s all ruses.
It’s all government oversight
Or power abuses.
The hospitals are clogged,
And the cases are logged,
“Unvaccinated flight”
Leaves healthcare workers agog.
Now children are dying,
But GOP politicians are crying.
They say their dead right
To stop even trying.
Go get some invermectin,
Or your grandma’s canning pectin.
Take it tonight to fight
Left-wing insurrection.
It will rid you of parasites
And any sense of the real right,
Like civil responsibility,
To all lives: one and many.

Fall Decline
Brickwork and pumpkin:
Shadow, light, crumble, decay.
Dappling toward decline.
