Great Blues

They arrived October first
refurbished an existent nest.
We moved into the house
reveled in their additions.

They added twigs.
We added furniture.
They added moss.
We added accents.

They took turns
he night, she day
three months
we watched.

No eggs hatched.
They flew away.

Osprey

Do you see me
seeing you?

At times your
golden eye looks
into my telescope
stares into my lens

When I look away
you swoop past
in search of fish
or is it

you see me
seeing you

Here I am
alas

What drives 
me

Here I am

I Don't Want



I don’t want
no man

I don’t want
no woman

I don’t want
no one

Devil Day


Devil Day

I did everything right
or so it seemed to me
but it wasn’t right
nothing can ever be

I gave up right a 
long time ago
it is not right
nothing can ever be

What if


What If

I dream about all 
things I would do
differently

I accept
my choices
the things
I didn't do
differently

Sadness


Sadness

Sometimes dense
cutting into asiago

Sometimes webs
to claw through

Sometimes escape
curl up in sheets 

Sometimes tears flow
unstoppable 

Sometimes screams
shriek terrifyingly 

Sometimes there seems
no end to sadness

Clean Slate


Clean Slate

Hard to do
wipe the screen clean
screen’s are porous

things are always
getting stuck
hard to do

Have to get out hose
brush the screen
while wetting it

Slate is much easier
