Nine years ago
Eggs, age were hidden /
Nine years past, when both were young. /
Spring hides without end.

By the roadside
Scraped, by the roadside, /
Olde English brown malt liquor. /
Unopened Spring thirst.

Evening sun
Descending daylight. /
Dressed in gray, red, and orange, /
Homes retire to night.

Demon
Demon at my feet /
Rests in peanut butter /
Anticipation.

Asleep upon her throne /
The cat who came to dinner. /
All that was without /
Now purrs deep within her./
Approach upon bended knee /
Should you be around /
And be sure your face /
Is suitably pointed down.

Grip
What has died reaches /
into what has yet to live. /
Holding and leaving.

Resistance is futile
Yes, I am a stray. /
Feeding me is encouraged. /
Petting discouraged.

What will we be?
Will the stream live or /
Be a memory dump of things /
When we are gone?

The sign
A sign of the times /
Keep your clothes on is not /
Just an expression.

Colors
The colors of stars /
Constellations in bloom /
Heavens underfoot.
