Back down to the floor. /

Heart upward toward the ceiling. /

Belly scratch ready.

Broken

Broken objects can /

not break treasured memories /

embraced in the heart.

Sunflowers live, then /

life’s brief monument.

Many songs

Nature is rhythm: /

many songs chirping, buzzing, /

murmuring onward.

Arcing old comet passing /

New flowering life.

“Some thrones”

Some thrones

Sometimes the throne is /

a mulch pile, a dead threshold /

waiting to be thrown.

“Damnation”

Damnation

The Devil’s Tongue blooms /

Under summer’s hot, first days /

Sun and damnation.

Sharing rain and sun.
