The bark
My dog is at home /
Shielded from human folly /
Except her owner’s.

Some days
Some days, parts are gone. /
Some days, your ride is missing. /
Some days just subtract.

Dark Joy
My joy is dark /
With wings embracing the night /
Bounded by duty.

Light
Before the windows /
Shines the ceiling lamp, hanging /
Empty and yet full.

Box carred in.
Freight train before me. /
White car blocking my behind. /
Road to nowhere now.

Lichen
Pathways, walkways, walls — /
Lichen covered here and there. /
Brick, stone, wood, and dirt — /
Decay is Time’s only care. /
Taking down the now — /
Leaving pieces that we share. /
Pathways, walkways, walls — /
Leading onward, lichen dare.

Tracks
All travel alone /
Each in a box car of flesh /
Whistling goodbye.

Hanging the Moon
Let us hang the Moon /
Tonight and forever: /
You, me, Sun, and Love.

Life
Life is sorrowful/
But fool that I truly am /
I love you, always.

Patterns
Weave and wonders abound: /
Circles, lines, colors, dreams. /
Clouds and water cups.
