“The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’. /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thanked Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.

Tall sunflower tree /

blooms where a tree used to be, /

Sunflow

Nature sings to time. /

Bee’s dance; sunflower’s allure. /

Symbiotic love.

“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.

“The Devil’s Tongue”

The Devil’s Tongue

Silent in beauty /

Fiery as a summer day /

Speak now, Devil’s Tongue.

“Gone”

Gone

Hot, he once was. /

Then, deliquesced, he was gone. /

Humid spot and cane.

Red tomato ripe, /

Love fruit in my sight.

Evening reaches out.

The blue of evening /

Silent flowers wave.
