A Tree never stops adding Leaves
Everyday, Everyyear…
As should be the way of the poet
Everyday a New Page
Everyyear a New Book
Every life a City or village

Chicken Feed
The Birds are
on the move
Snatching up the
Last mating
Bugs of Summer
Slow
Oblivious
Fattening up for
Winter’s rest
Or supper.

Piedra Lumbre
It’s easy to see
Why Georgia O’Keefe
Landed in Abiquiu.
All these cowboy clouds
and sunshine smiles
So much painting to do.
Rosie red arches
And sulfur burning
With Yellowing tongues
Rising, Lashing out
Lapping up lapis
Skies, with brushes swung
Heavy oil to evoke
American dream.
A land growing lost
To the lush beauty
She acquired on
blank sheets of canvas.
”Stone of lumination.”

We’re Done
“This is it!
We’re done.”
Morning shadows
Got the Sun
Edges browning
still green leaves
“Autumn’s coming”
Says, the trees.

Poets Bureau
The poet stands sentinel, memory of the City.
I am needed in the streets. Town crier. Breaking Muse. Calling forth the words of this generation. MindScribe. Writing into the minds of the people; making them remember to be free.
We must compose a new poetry.
Democratic verses
aspiring towards
our words in
common.

Burning your heart out
Old promises(*) of Love should be
taken from their dusty shelves
and Burnt!
Every autumn, like the raking
and the culling of the leaves:
stale promises!
Burning! Giving fertile soils to
new beginning and renewing vow
breaking ground
eternal flower
prescient poesy!

Blue-eyed Lovely Lady long Psychic connection
Dancing to the Blues Filial bondings going
little introductions led Well beyond the forms
to Feeling the of LOVE that
same groove came before
turned into turning 2
a life- to 1

Blue-eyed Lovely Lady

Words
No need
We too can
Sit so silently
Contemplative
No need for words
We two commun-icate
Hundreds stories common
Psychic in the way we need not
say a single thing. Understanding that
not even time matters between spaces long
between our Sharings. Quantum entanglement
perhaps. No matter, “I am glad you are here.”

Tending
Tender care
For another being.
Identifying that your
Presence and attention
Deliver more than what was
Possible without your intervention.
God to creation, gardener to garden.
Husband to family, Mother to children.
Soldier to country, Poet to human being.
