Listen:
eyes desperate
hands frantic

a fleeting glimpse of her
on the street
even now holds me with her
looking for

This Story
I tell myself
is not working
in fall it fails
to catch fire
in winter it no longer
keeps me warm
in spring it cannot see
itself grow
summer comes
it will not play
it is time
to change
my story
Awesome
to imagine
there is
in me
the authority
the courage
the downright
in your face
guts
to forgive
Time
is
a knife
cutting

Conscious

Nine Pennies
I lift them
from the road

to pay
attention
Search Engine

Leave
it makes sense
to leave the past
for room to breathe

for the present
leave to remain
a jazz of blood
called
child
Present
I am
preposition:
a present
to present
in
the present
Window Dew Dawn
Through my bedroom window
this came
to me
I still
bow
