Evening

Evening

All day storm advances

inky sky threatens

lightening shoots sparks

sunset bathes clouds

in feathery scarlet

puddles a mirage of wet colors

I sway in doubt lost in a hole 

from too close introspection 

I Need a Massage

I Need a Massage

Strong fingers working

muscles, tendons, bones

I need a knead working

muscles, tendons, bones

staff of life making bread

it begins in the nest

Against the Wall

Against the Wall

Concrete rigidity

how do I do that

against the wall

Beaten each day

against the wall

how do I do that

I fluid through it

Dusk Sky

Sky tumultuous
layers of clouds upon clouds
stack up like mountains
wisps of whites stack in front
streaks of pink against blue sky

I love clouds, love circling
around them in a plane
without mountains in Florida
clouds are my mountains
again and again

Photos

Photos

Photos capture

what otherwise might be missed

except once there were only words

and visions we held in our heads

I love having photos

I imagine the words to match

Logjams

Logjams

My life is a logjam

difficult to find sense

communing when 

synapses fail

plaques and tangles

logjam connections

struggles ensue

In the Overall

I had words in my head

to address the overall

he interrupted thought

said, “What about him if

I don’t take care of me?”

He is right as it is about

having a child again

complete responsibility

for someone else who 

depends upon me. 

In the overall is demand

and I am swimming away

from the octopus sucking

me down a dark crevasse

I had words in my head.
