Spring
Spring begins gray, /
Bleary eyes crusted with tears, /
Yawning into sun.

Some days
Some days, parts are gone. /
Some days, your ride is missing. /
Some days just subtract.

Lichen
Pathways, walkways, walls — /
Lichen covered here and there. /
Brick, stone, wood, and dirt — /
Decay is Time’s only care. /
Taking down the now — /
Leaving pieces that we share. /
Pathways, walkways, walls — /
Leading onward, lichen dare.

Tracks
All travel alone /
Each in a box car of flesh /
Whistling goodbye.

Life
Life is sorrowful/
But fool that I truly am /
I love you, always.

Patterns
Weave and wonders abound: /
Circles, lines, colors, dreams. /
Clouds and water cups.

Mirror
Objects in mirror /
May be further from your reach /
Than the distance back.

There once was a writer from the farm
Who thought writing could do no harm.
Then one day while he uttered
Poetry he scribbled near a cow’s udder,
She kicked him because she was not charmed.
