Urban suffusion
Light in life overarching
The Gardens’ sunset —
Her heart is still but waking
A quest not fulfilled — not yet —
(“Urban Suffusion” – 12-27-2014)
Urban Suffusion
Midnight Sun
Bright, the midnight sun
Dark, the cold that falls upon
My shoulders heavy
Lost in starlight was our love
Gone beyond reclaiming hope
(“Midnight Sun” – 12-27-2014)
To share is human:
the woman i thought i knew
looking back upon
the woman I thought I knew –
now, the secret storm
pours in around the edges
her hidden sorrowing seas
(“the woman i thought i knew” – 7-5-2015)
To share is human:
track level
hours of long labor
alone on darkened mornings
for this day of light —
moments in competition
carried by track level speed
To share is human:
ephemera 4
In hidden symbols,
Formalized and stylized,
She speaks her stories.
Therein lies love and sorrow,
And ways of reaching the dawn

To share is human:
ephemera 2
in gentle stirring,
bending towards the sunlight,
sisters of mercy
wait for the proper moment
to reveal their true colors

To share is human:
I Travel Sleepless
I travel sleepless
Walking as though in a dream
Around the hillside
Past the old paddock and fence
And deep into memory
To share is human:
on emerald shores
on emerald shores
they walked their unmeasured steps
silently searching
but wherever all they looked
they saw only past mistakes
To share is human:
pariah
outcast sky and bruise
upon the weight of autumn
stabbing through gray feet
wanting only the last rain
to wash away shame’s echoes
