A Making

A going has to come, I know
An acquiescence to the shortened days
A refusing to refuse the night

I’ll clothe myself in skin-tone colors
I will stop hearing creation’s groan silenced
I’ll start feeling good, acting great, again

Double Helix

Mirrors and many things
Left behind
No longer serving to remind
All she disappeared into
It was a hollow
Worse than silence

Comes now each new day
A ringing out
In Chickadee song
So sweet, all I long for now
Is to hear her DNA daily
Feel her backbone & warrior call

5 minutes to sunrise
Dash out

Climb to the highest height
Catch in your arms 
All I’ve promised from the East 

Add hope of your own

With all your might 
Fling-far to the West
Our new pact

5 minutes to sunrise
I dash out….
