Solitude
neither lonely
nor alone
contemporary silencer
mantra’s focal

high wire balancer

keeper mind
Morning
Awakening in anger
heart’s rhythms speed
transgressor’s features blurred
nightmares fade powerless
when sunlit veils recede
at dawn.
Ancestor
I place you here
in plain view
to gaze into depths
imagine
what once your words
must have
meant
Smart
I like smart people
no apology
I like smart people
they challenge me
I wish there were more
teaching
drawing us toward
better
We
Trees root
I shelter
Wolves ramble
I dancer
Rivers ripple
I breathe
They are we
We are we
Life key
Unlocked
Indomitably
Exhale
This dullard’s day
full of feigned intellect love
lean into the passing wind
spread your wings of regret
exhale
exhale
drift visions away
Morning Shades
In dawn’s blur, I awaken to radiosounds
Everything is broken, a sultry voice declares
but even weakened and half-asleep—
I don’t believe.
