Poised
Wide-eyed cat above,
poised in a dogwood tree.
Icarus waiting.

Embrace
Speak not your joys /
but embrace them like Iris /
touched by morning rain.

Thief
Beside the street, /
in a flowering Eden /
a snake jerked up Iris.

Cauldron
Through the evening sky, /
without wings, these cauldrons fly, /
roiling, rumbling by.

The road
The road less traveled /
often becomes forgotten /
until the next snow.

“What is the universe? Space. Out of space came a coagulation that became a nebula, and out of the nebula, millions of galaxies, and within one constellation of galaxies, a sun, with our little planet circling it. Then out of the earth came us, the eyes and the consciousness and the ears and the breathing of the earth itself.”
– Joseph Campbell
