The Plan
I suppose that you are made of stealth pilot stuff
You see me as commanding from strong eagle wing
I’ll prove how your heart is stronger for its freefall
You affirm my pain-filled flight has not stolen hope
Flight Risk: A Haiku
Sky Above
Behave thee, beautiful Hawk
Else, if not
Call me closer
Force my witness
Of thine stripes
Thine wings
Out and Up: A Haiku
Please never cower
Flight is just to capture your
Imagination

Time-Life Continuum
Come with me I'm
One of those kind
I won't mind
If you need
To float a bit I'll
Be with you should you
Dawdle
I know these parts
Each side of my heart
Resolutely resolved
To remain uncured and
To come with you
Safely: A Haiku
Wingless, yet in flight
Yellow bird, break not my heart
Trust ye, the terroir
Uneven
Everything. The shiny,
The hot, the wishing for warmth
And that pilot’s still circling
Not caring for landing field light
Or the heat of home afterall
But circling
Higher and away
As if captaining a star flight
Upon which I can only draft
Watching Them
Red-blooded bird
Black mask stealing
Her olive heart
Full speed ahead
Swift wings chasing
Strong wings
Her tangerine mouth
Mocks that lovely feathered cone
Atop that busy head
She forages below
What does she know
He thinks
1
On the edge of the end
In deep need of goodness
I fastened a cape
It had to be woven in truth
This time
Lest I fall from the sky
Electric and magic
Near-reckless sensibility
Enduring and tender
Incredulous…ridiculous
Wary yet wanting of fire
I fastened the fibers of you
Wove them all through
Set you atop my shoulders
Then flew
And did I fall
