What is the loveliest thing
I Am thatWho is the most humble One
I Am HeWhere does the Earth need the Sky
I Am thereThe way we must live to fight well
I Am howThe reason that they will hear hope
I Am whyThe now to remember your strength
I Am when

School
I think The Earth is moving
It’s not where I Left It
When in my Second-Story, Circus-Red-And-White-Striped childhood bedroom
I Knew never
Would wrongs be deemed Right
Should the voiceless be Silenced
Could I stay and just play School
Did you don Your cape then too
A Poem Found Me
What?
I wait motionless in silence, hearing nothing but the brush of my hair against the pillow fabric and the casual whirr of traffic beyond the window glass.
I expect the Earth to shake.
Or that waters will well up.
Shall fire sweep in with the wind?
Even still, I prize the void.

This Haiku: Crowbar
Why does the window
Where from Earth I watch its Star
Seem only ajar
This Haiku: Ant Pic-nic
Where are our manners
We came without permission
Shall we go or stay
Our Earth
As we consider the Day
This in earnest we say
We wish to go out from the fray
For we know You Are Home
But would it be okay
if we dance for more days
and more with creatures play
and, too, take the long way home?
