Heady, Unruly Spirit
Don’t look now—wind
Heading your way—
More than strong
Enough to carry that
Heedless head off
And away.

Step Lively, Scouts!
As a way out of deep depression,
They told us to go back
As far as we could and keep an eye
Out for any signs of life, any
Footprints that would tell us something
Substantial had been here before—
All we came across was that familiar
Hollow echo of footsteps dragging
The depths that kept after us everywhere
We had to go.

Eureka! (Or How to Stop Deadly Writer's Block Once and for All)
Stare at a blank piece of paper long enough
And before you know it, bang!—
You’ll find your head filled with lead.

A Poem Should Be (11)
Unlike a Facebook
like
—
A not unmoving contra
Diction in terms—
There when
You need it
And still
There when
You don’t.

Rising to the Occasion
The sun’s still hiding behind
The ridge of the mountains
Waiting for the day to begin
Something quivering
Deep inside
The dark sleeping martyred
Earth lightly nudges you,
It’s high time you rose
To seek salvation, too.
