Homecoming Song
--for my cousin, the silent one
In the stifling
Heat of this, the longest
Day of the year,
While incessant cicadas
Fiddle fickle time away,
Just as your coffin is
Being lowered, to hear
From out of the shadows
Of wind-swept cypresses,
That one lone
Nightingale's uplifting
Air!

The Art Of Hearing Amongst The Multitudes
Hear, hear--
Odd to be here
Where each human
Sound sounds
Like no other--even
The same ones
Can't tell the difference
Between them.

When You Can't Sleep, What Else Can You Do But Write?

Once Upon A Time, Naturally
I wrote only about
How the wind sculpts
The shape of pines,
And not how
The bed of needles lining
The floor under them
Helps form how we look
At things round us--
If only we thought
To lift the coverlet
To examine the mildew
And the impending
Mushrooming rot.

Classy Catty C-Class
Seriously now,
On a cold winter’s day
A poem should be a lot
Like these three chummy
Felines cuddled round each
Other on the still warm
Hood of this classic cool gun-
Metal gray Mercedes-Benz coupé.
