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

Olympus Mons
Rise, volcano, rise /
On an ancient world nearby /
Robots call you home.

Old love
Love is an old house /
Projects always underway. /
Not for everyone.

The bark
My dog is at home /
Shielded from human folly /
Except her owner’s.

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

Dark Joy
My joy is dark /
With wings embracing the night /
Bounded by duty.

Light
Before the windows /
Shines the ceiling lamp, hanging /
Empty and yet full.

Box carred in.
Freight train before me. /
White car blocking my behind. /
Road to nowhere now.

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.
