I am not a dream. /
Your waking will not end me. /
Lower that snack — now.

Golden
Morning light reflects /
Golden from the tablecloth. /
Toast and tea awake.

Shades
Shadows and lost saints: /
reflections and projections, /
exits and entrances.

Gathering
Bee hums to the beat /
Of sunflower serenade. /
Summer pollen song.

The cut
A surgeon’s suture /
The end of the operation /
A painful new start.

Hiding
Rain reaches the heart /
Hiding away in the sun /
Touching life with tears.

Borderland
Flag hangs in stillness. /
Rain falls into its murmur. /
Wet dirge or rebirth?

There once was a writer from Montana,
Who always ate a morning banana.
Then one day he ran out.
He wailed an ugly shout:
“Writing’s lost is appeal and manna.”

Hanging on
Moments speak to you. /
Do you listen? Do you see? /
How long will you breathe?

Former self
Some day you will find /
yourself hanging around and /
wonder where you’ve been.
