Hello everyone! Just a quick blog update – I’m having some wireless networking issues at home, which is why the poetry posting has been a little erratic. I am hoping to get back on track by next week. Thanks for hanging in there with me!! Be sure to check out posts from past months, and even last year! Have a great day!

like Haruki Murakami
some of our memories
like heavy silt find
a way to drop in a stream
like Haruki Murakami
might slip into a dream
chase a lost love | all
consciousness lost
in bleary
Japanese
mountains…..

glimpse
glimpse- when your eyes
tear up with want, just one
look, when your eyes
flutter like butterfly wings
and flicker with hestitation,glance
chances taken, sigh of relief…

hermit
hermit lives
on a mountain,
alone but for
the clouds,
hair grows long.
Sagacious child,
tell us –
are you scared of him?
or do you see
the wisdom in
that particular
silence?

Marley morning (haiku)
wireless problems persist…. but these morning poems might be interesting in their own right (maybe)
Bob Marley grooves the
morning, coffee seduces
jam, “feel alright” now

the dance before a storm (haiku)
sorry – had some technical difficulties last night….
summer wind teases
lightly flirts, pirouettes,
snaps lightning in time.

a brashness undefined
you will never meet another
as terrifying as memy hook will rip
your cheek
as you claw your way
across the deck
gasping for air
every twitch
compelling you
forward
your glassy eyes,
pleading.

math
those of us who believe in math
know statistically
all kinds of things are true:solving for x
must equal
the balanceand this,
death is just one … fraction … awayit will take a lifetime, though,
limits
un-defined,

lament the loss (when rain forms a widow’s veil)
when rain falls
in the nascent glow
of a streetlight,
it seems to wear a veil,
a widow’s gownyou and i
have felt the distance
between two knees
sitting too closeit’s taken its toll
the bells of the church
agree – and inside
The Beatles lament
the loss
and turn
defiantly –those headlights in the rain.
