Need
Red lights strip the dark /
Sirens usurp the silence /
Need consumes the street.

“Machine”
Machine
Machine pushes onward, /
whispers its contrived hope, /
even in absence.

Two haiku
Step lightly
Raise your leg higher /
Keep your foot above your heart /
Step lightly on air.

Surgery
Surgery divides /
flesh, bringing forth life’s pulse that /
only the heart heals.

“Tenuous”
Tenuous
The web to the stars /
is grounded in those moments /
tenuous to touch.

Night
Night returns to dreams, /
dancing clouds across the moon, /
faint and feather light.

Hope
Desiccated leaves /
Fall murmurs through the breezes /
Hope, too, rides the air.

Sunday silliness: “Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude”
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Spent the evening in camarad.
Eating birdseed,
Fists full of greed,
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude,
In raccoon fur they trod.
Into the night
They ate with delight,
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Three raccoons in a pod.
Three peas after food,
Including suet crude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Were too inland to find scrod.
Eventually they left.
When a boom with some heft
Shooed on Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
