I imagine
Viscerally so
The blows would arrive
As if from the Andes
On albatross wings
Swift, strong, strategic
Were I to stand again
But I toss my hat
I await a bell
You will not hear

Answerer
I saw him as dallying
In the rain
‘though so what if he was
That little old soul
That curious soul
When what was it, Actually
‘cept pursuing The truth
The absolute truth
The noblest of things….
Earth’s Brew: A Haiku
My communal arms
Must reach deep, must pull life close
Through my ev’ry breath
A Firmament Away
Less beautiful
These days
You mustn’t fault me
For looking downward
And inward frequently
To reflect with abandon
On eternity
Without you
These days
Less beautiful
We Sleuth
Whether ink or lead
Or in aerosoled hue
I own thee, my friend
Placed my mark upon you
It’s your fault, inspirer
You’ve caused my daydream
Your borderless pages
From which you Love-scream
Never stop speaking
Such fanciful truth
I fight with you, write with you
Together we sleuth

Sharing Space: A Haiku
A strawberry pie
Set in the kitchen window
And enough for all
gaze
Touch her bruised and battered borders
Know her shattered, suff’ring soul
Why did no one stand beside her
Have you heart as black as coal
Lovelife
Will we try and strive
Will the wind bend backwards
To tell you of the point
What you know
As plain and keen
As the nose on your face
To love this life
You Are Here
Stuck
You’ll stay as is
I’ll stay in a different way
Same as the day I promised I’d stay
You stay staying
Saying you’re staying
But Elsewhere, Actually
Pretending
Stuck
Fair Weather, Friend
Oh!
I shall exhale
Pray for pouring rain as my forum
For there I will make such weeping
And I won’t want them to see
Yes!
There’ll be no taste of salt
But mere ozone and clarity
Fresh, cold clarity
And latitude
