Another tune for the bard my friend
Another pluck of the string,
Another dip, another spin
Another tip of the hat and then...

Menghibahkan was a good mama.
She was young but attentive
And worked hard for her children,
Planting rice and sweet potatoes.
She taught her young ones
To sing the tribal . . . more

Close your eyes
Listen
Here in the leaves
Now in the "whys"
There in the song
Of the sweet sad owl
Near in the hollow
Of a lone wolf's howl

You look, but always fail to see
What there is here.
You’d rather that I let you be,
Head turned, back bent, towards tapping key
Lost in a world I’ve come to fear.

Look on me with eyes made soft by love.
Hold gentle my heart always close to yours.
If you someday choose to sit upon a horse that's high,
View me with tepid judgment, knowing that I try. . . . more

The sky held the moment
Between a star and the moon
And the song of a whippoorwill
Fell through
A hole in the last note
Rose, a luminous balloon
Catching the oak tree's . . . more

Natural Reflection
There'll come sometime, somewhere will be a door
Rough hewn grain that opens to wooden floor
The smell of home will fill up every room
And out the window you will . . . more

Invite me for a swim in those green tea eyes
I'll take a dip in your tide pools
Listen to the wind sigh
While I sink to the bottom of your china cup.

Twisted and broken
Pitiful heart full of holes
And yet you loved me.

I remember that time when we stood in a distant place
The way the trees were so thick they hid the sky
And our hearts beat hard there in the midst of the chase
The blood trail . . . more

And you haven’t even met your ten word quota
At least not to me.
I stand on the peripheral and watch
Your fingers do the talking
To countless . . . more

No Father
Bright red sailor cap bobs
Atop his special dark
Chocolate little face,
With a shiney green
Granny Smith apple
Held up, a prize,
In his dark dimpled hand.
