One foot
One foot in the grave. /
One foot on today’s damp soil. /
Flowers gather round.

“Be”
Be
Smell the flower’s bloom. /
Hear the wisdom of no words. /
See and touch and be.

“Street seen”
Street seen
I wore shadows.
She wore light.
We met in the street.
The breeze played at painting us together.
The sun declined to stay.
For a moment,
As the light faded,
raindrops dappled, and the breeze whispered,
We were as one.

“A farewell”
A farewell
A kiss. A cloud.
A farewell I say to you
my last sleep’s dream.

“Viewpoint”
Viewpoint
From a dog’s viewport, /
one dog to another,
summer is a rose.

The blue of evening /

Silent flowers wave.

“Early”
Early
Early are the winds /
when they are just a breeze /
building from a thought.

“Free floating radicals”
Free floating radicals
The clock floated free; /
the jack, the pawn, and the car /
left their roles behind.

Touched
Touched and touching, /
bent toward the sun and each other /
memories and life.
