Mad Air Of Minimalism

the 
small 
 
birds 
twittering 
 
there- 
in 
 
the 
heart 
 
of 
the 
 
flowering 
pomegranate, 
 
their 
twiggy 
 
throats 
pulsing 
 
the 
all- 
 
encompassing 
fruity 
 
morning 
air.

God Only Knows How You Can

Toil in silence fashioning 
Taut well-oiled verse and stay 
Forever a cipher—but hot damn, 
 
Strut on stage, do a cool loose- 
Jointed shimmy holding fans in
Awe and slam-bam if you ain’t 
 
Straightaway the hottest act in town!

Heavyweight Greeting Card

you 
open
 
it 
and 
out 
 
of 
the 
blue— 
 
voila! 
 
deep 
violet 
blue 
 
dragon- 
fly 
un- 
folds 
 
its 
paper 
thin 
 
wings 
and 
light 
 
as 
feather 
 
weight 
lifts 
you 
 
up 
and 
away 
 
light 
as 
an 
ephemeral 
 
fly.

Whitewashed Janus

The worst 
You can do is still
 
Better than what 
You’ve done 
 
So far—but try 
Till you’re blue 
 
In the face, 
For the likes 
 
Of me, 
You'll never be
 
Able to
Tell the difference.
