Threshold
Today speaks decay. /
Memory echoes the past. /
Threshold whispers, “Why?”

Rival bumblebees /
joust across the dark flower: /
pollen and honor.

Good eats
Thanks for the big eats. /
I lick my face to finish. /
Better than a bird.

No return
It feels good, Beth said. /
She snapped off dead lily heads, /
dropped them to the ground. /
This evening, I did the same, /
but she did not return.

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 /

holds your memory.
