Thieves

A thousand thieves may /

rip the jonquils from the ground /

but they can’t steal Spring.

“Party”

Party

The party is dull. /

The dog knows whom she wants. /

My date acts catty.

White bells of Spring ring /

Beguiled by Spring’s smile, /

Promises and hope.

Catch the crescent moon, /

weaving through barren branches /

leaves of light leaving.

“I am”

I am

I am a bird,

made of star stuff.

To the Phoenix, I return.
