One
One cold November /
one Blue jay grabs one peanut /
one day in winter.

“Hear”
Hear
The sound of no sound. /
The quiet voice of no voice. /
Hear one fall leaf fall.

“Limits”
Limits
Life at the limits /
has turned loose its freak show. /
Flowers squirt poison.

“Silence”
Silence
Fall leaves on a bench,
a pile of my yesterdays
all in dead silence.

Brushy Mountain
Watchers and watched speak /
Memories wet and cold as /
A Saturday rain.

The future has no eyes.

Cat’s eyes in the dark, /
answering the emptiness, /
cool in the silence.

“Morning glory”
Morning glory
Trumpeting today /
the morning glory funnels /
a bit of the sun.

Raindrops
Small fall raindrops fall /
to the roiling big river /
to the untamed seas.

“Big Mouth”
Big Mouth
Oh, if only the Big Mouth would go on.
I give it gas and gear it all day long
To drive the broken old bastard to where it belongs.
Oh, come on Big Mouth, you roll on.
I work the clutch like a diphthong switch,
Pressing hard every time I got an itch
And shift those gears without an itch.
I work that clutch like a well-worn bitch.
I whine Big Mouth up to its highest gear.
Then no more whining will I hear,
The wind whipping by, the sky clear.
I whine Big Mouth up to its highest gear.
Only a little more left on this rutted road.
Big Mouth strains under its stolen load.
Big Mouth acts as though its dark future is foretold.
I slam my foot on Big Mouth and drive bold.
