I will
November 15, 2007
When I can no longer walk
I will watch.
When I can no longer see
I will listen.
When I can no longer hear
I will tell my stories.
When I can no longer remember
I will make them up.

a last leaf holds on
brown and brittle it shakes
losing small pieces
the God Cage
November 7, 2007
We frame God
in a cage of words
like a monkey
begging for coins.
always saying goodbye always saying hello

with each wave
these last moments
bathe our consciousness
there was nothing else…
(but jobs are waiting)
put the tiny shells
in your pockets
I tell the boys
so the big ones won’t crush them.
two buddies –
they are eleven
never to be eleven again.
the breeze hides my tears.

Bone grit
explodes into
a thousand ripples,
welcoming home
her borrowed
physicality.

the gases
the stone
the life forms
the consciousness
we must build
on what has become,
not destroy it
Velcro – Unzipped

why a following
and not faith?
why signs
and no horizons?
why flesh
but no sight?
why not faith
and no following?
why not horizons
with no signs?
why not sight
but not flesh?

Eternity smiles
May 5, 2006
On a cold still night
moon lights the room.
I hold her upon my lap
a warm tiny bundle.
Her dark eyes
search this space
as we rock in time
with the universe…
