days run together
denying that bothers
solves nothing at all
sameness hurts the flow
life stagnates souls do weather
springtime hie thee hence

nightly serenade
cicadas birds wind in trees
winter dead ahead
Spare change

day after day flown
recalled now as memories
caught in the mind’s eye
frivolously spent
from youth’s abundant pocket
mortality picks
Precarious

tall pedestal child
no smaller now you are grown
yet earth is closer
Hold on

don’t complain never
explain nor say dreams out loud
winds blow them away

would that I were nine
or even ten again then
I’d know who I am
Cup of ambition (homage to Arlie)

some are coffee nights
morning I find night’s remnants
black coal in the bowl
some are coffee days
shower, dress, coffee go-mug
no readable grounds
Familiar things

I have pictures of him sitting on the glass coffee table; or the one on the 
balcony next to the porch swing, I have anther of him sitting on the desk with my old glasses and journal and my favorite fat pen. I have another one sharing space with cat Sabrina on my all-to-cluttered desk late at night lit by an old lamp. He filled with a little Texas tea and my cat deep in slumber my only company as my pen races the dawn that heralds a new day’s duty and bustle of the necessaries that take me from this, my aerie.

Written the day Saks Corporate closed it’s doors, and I was headed to the beach for a well-deserved idyll.
Stardate 050407 Countdown – one day to some beach some where
Come ride with me along the sand,
where dusk sits easy on the land.
Feel her presence close at hand –
the guardian Naiad of the strand

dark the hole we dig
when night obscures tunnel’s end
then flees sun’s rising
