Rejecting recollect

Rejecting recollect
Not fearing present tense
Or fresh flashing forward
Not the hoarding of whence

Discovery default
Small buttons of wonders
Sharing of perspectives 
Humor at our blunders

Random harpsichord keys

Random harpsichord keys
The softness of the rain
Watercolor Rothko
Is washing the terrain

Daylight soon without sun
The traffic picking up
Driving through saucers and
Dodging the pothole cup

Letting go of the sun

Letting go of the sun
The moon shortly after
A day and then distance
No roof and no rafter

No matter of pacing
Be it bull or ursus 
The grave plot reflecting
Us scratching the surface

I am still here my friend

I am still here my friend 
We were more than just when
I listen to your dreams
With hope at each “and then”

Exchanging thoughts and heart
The discipline fitness
Compassion and courage 
Companionship witness

Captured in a mid flight

Captured in a mid flight 
Piloting without rank
Each bow on my kite tail
Untied until it sank 

Between recoveries
My boundaries were found
No pulling on my heart 
Strings and standing my ground

Caught in a winter storm

Caught in a winter storm
An innocent mistake
A naked tree and spruce
Stood on the circle lake

The time too tense to pause
Self cuddled and hurried
Picturing the pathway
When it only flurried

When they take our Lemon

When they take our Lemon
We will make lemonade 
When they are bad we will
Be Good and not afraid

And when they kill Pretti
And still show no pity
Get Border Control and
ICE out of our city
