Dear Graduates
I feel so disastrous, then how is it I sing?
Might it be my surroundings, these graceful youth-filled souls
Maybe that it’s this One Time, these dapper-Dan’s and Gals
The cotton-candy low-sun skies and promising new lives
Despite the struggles of this year, which brought fourth omni-tears
Farewell, hello, dear graduates, our hearts tethered despite
Talent
What say we keep walking
In tranquility
You and me
See what we see
A new day today
A better way
Exhale a time or two
In hope the adrenaline
Flows
Lay bets that being a true friend
Will in the end
Find us fine and dandy
And New and Final
Darlin’
Can we?
At The Bell
Fling that thing to the Moon
That thing that’s ailing you
Red flags, white flags, too
It’s not a day too soon
Let’s leave crazy to loons
Whose flightiness consumes
Consider this day new
Its call goes out to you
To sing the champion’s tune
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
Covered
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….
