One tries
One lies and one stands, /
cat in darkness, dog in light. /
Wonder and return.

“From many”
From many
From many, one drops /
Earthward, away from the sky. /
No seeds in the sun.

Your garden whispers /

Sweet iris
Sweet iris, three blooms: /
birth wrapped, life unfurled, death gnarled. /
Three phases, one root.

“Tall tale”
Tall tale
The gravedigger says, /
As his needling wife’s unearthed, /
“It’s all a big yarn.”

“Oh, Geezerdom”
Oh, Geezerdom
Oh, geezerdom; oh, geezerdom,
When will the angels come?
Will the come in a van
Like a Wal-Mart clan.
Playing games in the parking lot
With the souls they have got?
Or will they come in a box
A mix that Betty Crocker talks
You through how to bake
Take the ingredients and shake
Them all together to make
Food for the angels’ sakes?
Oh, geezerdom; oh, geezerdom
When will the angels come?
I’m not sure that I know
If I’m yet ready to go
To rise fast of sink slow
To wherever the afterlife might exist.
Am I on the heavenly list?
Am I an ingredient
In a cake expedient
To be lifted to heaven to come
Or left as parking lot crumbs.

Face to the May sun; /
morning with petals outstretch. /
May you see it, too.

“Skirt”
Skirt
Iris rise from dark soil, /
dress in a skirt of May rain, /
bloom and fall from light.

“Desires”
Desires
Devil-in-a-bush /
dances like love-in-a-mist /
with warm-spring desires.
