Hey, Frank
Buck, why don't you
just get up-
wind of that
specimen
blue and white pied spring
meadow riddled with red
bursts of poppy
anemones and bright
bleeding
tawny tiger lilies
yellow dandy
lions
coming back to life?
new old kid on the blog, with an occasional old or new poem written off the old writer's block

His Reticence
--for Eleni
Rain has been falling
All night, love,
So softly
I wanted to tell you,
I wanted to tell you
Forgive me,
You were sleeping so
Peacefully.
Rain has been falling

Disclosure
"I would love to be a word in a Zambaras poem."
--William Michaelian
Lovely being
a word in a poem
enclosed in a bottle
opened by one
you love.

Widow at Window; Witness
Photo taken in Kastoria, Northern Greece, 1974; poem written 34 years later--even if I hadn't taken the photograph, the image of this old woman looking wistfully out her window down at the foot traffic passing below her window would have remained indelibly in my memory.
