Moonlighter


Following the money 
Moonlit snail leaves 

Winding silver tracks 
Trail behind it.

What The Eye Fails To Take In, The Heart Will

—for Ans and Peter, inveterate birders par excellence 


Not the green limb trembling 
In the still air but the departed 

Beating of wings 
The branch was home to 

No longer there.

In God We Trust


Trust me— 

When you said you would 
Try harder the next time, 

Nobody believed you, not 
Even your best friend, 

Your lying self 
To the bitter end.

Epitaph For A Spaced-Out Astronomer


Love, don’t you be like me 
When the stars got in my eyes, 

I looked for the nearest 
Black hole.
