STRETCHING OUT

turning over,
yawning
into morning

coffee and cigarettes
foot steps upstairs

church bells
pigeons swarming

city stretching
vehicles competing
concrete and tar

damp alleys
wandering voices

sidewalks
overflow

OVER AND LIGHT

I saw a winking moon
hide behind
kingly pines

sending silver
liquid beams
through thick boughs

as a full-faced moon
lighted my path
to home.

MOON SPACE

an autumn moon
crawls sideways
overhead
through pines
smiling like chrome
without sound
drawing my eyes
as if pulled
by strong tides
I gaze
not for just
a moment
but I search
as I have
countless times
its cold distant face
and will again
when pleasantly
captured by
its presence

WATCHING THE ASHES

sun dips
moon winks

overhead
stars align

here we are
spirit breaths,
sparks and smoke

placing
our hopes
on paper,
setting them
on fire

knowing
the promises
we keep are
greater than
the flames
testing us

RUNNING

I didn’t realize
the clock was ticking
so loudly

pulsing without
mercy

changing my
appearance,
voice,
opinion

a pendulum
of soul
gasped to hold on,
ignoring the wings
of seasons
and the end

EACH WAVE HAS A NAME

an echo
in the hallway,
the beauty
of her breath
remains
in the remember
album of
youth and the
life of speech

where parts of
separation
never run
out of tears
in the sacred air
of salvation and
imagination
between the stars
