Poetry (Current)

 

The wind within,
once so wild to ride the high blue,
was gathered, fitted
into numbered squares, calibrations
of what remained to be done,
as if to equate mind to a state of landscape,
 to formalize space and time
with logic alone.

But, as we are bone, so are we dream,
as we are ash, so are we seed.


I know a place
where poets and painters trace the faces of God,
and within a leaf, the other side of the moon.
It is that space between skin and bone,
I call 'Life".


And so, I have become accustomed to the simple treacheries
of people,
of the fear
time can bring.
I greet each day as does a sailor a fresh wind,
a wind in search of

horizons.


*****
Dew boils up

bursts the waste,

Arrows come

tailor face.

Skin the salary,

Sight thin ice,

Earth maps never twice.

Squelch the map,

the normal come.

Swallow the swallowing

swallowing sun.

Mouth end's strength,

the garden sky.

Grief's lashing

never changes the why.


May this for you,

a song


never dry.


...
Why always

in chase

of the shadow

of a cloud?


When always

I am shadow,

When always,

I am cloud.

***

Sping rain. 

Even my worries

stop to listen.
