Perch
Flowers
They’ve suffered at my hand
Frost
Did I discount them
Never
I, as would many others
Nurturers
Set them again in the sun
Believing
They would continue
Blooming
Black
Silence
Rings out year after forlorn year
From space, that sacred place
So I stay mourning
Yet, I send signals
Probes, seeking life
To every corner
This curious heart and mind must
Silence
I know it’s name, oh, but it’s heart
Darkened for what reason
‘Tis unknown to me
Big League
Eve
These are not holiday colors
Under this skin
Shocking, rising
Dissipating to fade
There are no saints to celebrate
No martyrs or departed
Save hope
To mourn
Cardamom: A Haiku
Impossibly hot
So I know I’ll find myself
There in India
Pulled
I watch
As from afar
You count them
The near-missed curves
And the angles
Maddeningly calculate
Keep staring
Blankly
Into the tonic
While the true
Keeps calling you
From your virtual walk
White
I maintain
I could have done without the black
I had to look a second time, and then a sixth
I see it still in the most unremarkable places
I looked upward and Life appeared
I saw its red against the White
I feel the black come over me
I eye up red against the white
Black
Alley Cat
There must be an escape in back
And the whole thing must be liquid black
Perched upon high
And full moon in the sky
He’ll sing things he cannot take back
