Visa Versa

Visa Versa

Blocks


I watch them build
rapt with balance
higher and higher
joy a skyscraper
suddenly sweep
of an arm down
it all comes glee
in the destruction

Visa Versa

Blocks

I watch them build

rapt with balance 

higher and higher

joy a skyscraper

suddenly sweep

of an arm down

it all comes glee

in the destruction

Blocks

Higher, higher they build

eye level toward the sky

balancing different shapes

cones, squares, triangles

red, blue, yellow, green

when no blocks remain

a thing of accomplishment

little arms swoop to destroy

cascade of wooden blocks

crash with squeals of delight

Jasmine

Night blooming jasmine

wafts through the window

ample breeze after sunset

flawed granite set  aglow

above monkeys shriek

in earsplitting whistle

little demons trapped

scrap with each other

I view the montage

can't see the difference

monkeys and humans

within their domain

Fridays

Fridays

I blend with abandon

transfer from work

freedom

my spare time off

its my job

free

I draft ride current

on a downhill 

stride

in a trance

caught by a string

temper

from which I refrain

the racket in my

brain

drove me to strike

the key to the chest

crack

Friday

I sit in the park

watch rats scurry

as sun sets

Crown

Crown

Gaseous corona

cigar smoke circles
vessels constrict

Gargantuan shadows

you nail against me 

I brush you off

trembled mud crawl

through willow bluffs

wood stones stain

Full Circle

Full Circle

"The golden serpent coiled

in the shape of an egg,

eating its own tail."

We come full circle in life

eating ourselves as we live

only to circle again, again

We shed our skin to grow

birth ourselves eating our tail

full circle we come round, live

Water

I am earth

water my companion

daughter water sign

her father water sign

I desire water

drink to live

beside water

see colors

sea colors

mystery in water

what hides beneath

reflected in light

I love the sound

roar and crash

slap and trickle

splash and drip

in flight the ocean

looks like epidermis

on my arm as I twist

my wrist like waves

I feel sorry for fire

quenched by water

subdued I wish I were

water to my fire mate

Scrap

He would beat the crap out of me
split my lip, black my eye, bruise
my face as I would crumple
after getting in a few good blows 

I would hammer his torso, gloves
on, edge in, crouch, draw back
burst, pierce, chisel away at the
resistance to my happy freedom

I would crash through him and
glow until the lights went out
