The Moon Belongs to Everyone
Walk you the gentle way
The end must come
No matter what joy
or hardship is spent
Take your ride without guilt
but with grace
where each other is
winner
Look out at misty
shimmering lights
reflected in dark
dreaded pitch pines
Walk a labyrinth
where forest & bog merge
steam swirled into whispers caught
by the snow goose & mallard
Where we all hear the call
each a part of consciousness
each a part of the other
we leap into eternity
The Unattainable Index
Ghosting myself, I slip silently away to peer into what’s unattainable. Tell myself, “Look out, once you close the door, what seemed real is gone. Reach instead for the pinnacle, the zenith, the world’s radio waves in light. Offer up beautiful calamity, echoes of grief, helium’s iridescence, moments evolved to eternity in place of yesterday or forever.”
A Accidentally alert
B Beauty beyond
C Calamity prepared
D Distance up close
E Echoes silence
F Fearless immobility
G Grief hurried
H Helium rock
I Iridescent night
J Justice ends
K Kingdom of all
L Light sombre
M Moments disconnected
N Neverland
O Ostrich ostensible
P Pinnacle blunted
Q Query stated
R Rich salt
S Star launch
T Truth cushioned
U Ugly service
V Vitriol love
W Weary wonder
X X-rayed brain fog
Y Yesterday resumed
Z Zenith ground zero
Soul Searching in a Country Song
Blackbird flees to grey sky
Perch up high on pine tree branches
Look out on Page Street
Tiny humans like ants walking upright
to her bird’s eye view
City sounds carry up too
Horns, sirens, saws and the man
on the corner strumming & singing
loud & clear in public
