So soon the month of June
So soon the month of June
Cottonwood falling snow
Chandelier yellowwood
Now the youngest of know
Slabs of stones are warming
The brighter green aglow
The tadpoles are teeming
Fawns following their doe

Resources replenished
Resources replenished
Trees and spaces between
Staring upward wiser
Where squirrels nest and dream
The openness widens
Day into tomorrow
The sky an ocean dip
The sun yellow yarrow

Were we just sharing air
Were we just sharing air
Did wave or wind persist
People peeling without
An argument or fist
Silent bubbles bouncing
Out of frame and the days
Whatever happened to
What brought our parting ways

Melancholy refrain
Melancholy refrain
Rain rising from the street
Back up to the clouds where
The skies and darkness meet
The weak stemmed peonies
The saturated green
Red robins robbing worms
Overwhelm to serene

We turn around and years
We turn around and years
Ships becoming lifeboats
Happy for surviving
And the wisdom it gloats
Still embracing voyage
Not resigned to memoir
Inviting the ocean
Southern Cross and North Star

Internal lightning strike
Internal lightning strike
Knowing the mark was made
Clouds cannot make hard turns
The sky cannot cast shade
But my body thunders
Rain pouring through my veins
Followed by a cold front
And change in weathervanes
Not a mountain or slope
Not a mountain or slope
Touches of forest stretch
A plateau promising
Yawns of a pencil sketch
Sleeping simplicity
Our self-conscious breathing
Swallows are sweeping both
Our abandoned sheathing

Twenty-three years ago
Twenty-three years ago
On a Tuesday evening
Meeting with Ray Justice
Just before your leaving
Close to eight o’clock and
Yellowwood tree flowers
Hung like bright chandeliers
To light the darkest hours

Emptying my pockets
Emptying my pockets
Dreams became souvenirs
Currency not spent might
As well be boutonnières
Tightening of the belt
And the shoelaces tied
Prepared for day to day
But not should have or I’d

A before before me
A before before me
Green as the start of Spring
Hopeful as a robin
Or a migrating wing
The wiser eye still sealed
The heart not as refined
Changing and grappling to
Widen the open mind

The contents of the World
The contents of the World
Tsunami in the heart
The calmness of Brahms breath
Turns to Rite of Spring start
Puncturing peace with push
That will not stop until
I find my sense of self
Amongst the overfill

Enthusiasm’s rope
Enthusiasm’s rope
My old hands are sweating
Stalling in the climb I’m
Assessing my fretting
Adrenaline shedding
Purpose into question
Must chinny up inches
Satisfy ascension
