WAITING
Endlessly waiting
Upon wing-less doves bringing
Broken branches home

LOCKING IT DOWN
Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes
~ Billy Joel

I HAVE BEEN AWAY
I have been away.
It was good. I have returned;
To leave, once again.

AÑEJO
The glow of amber
Autumn knows the cost of time
In the age of days

OPPOSITE END
Almost everyone
I know
Has exited
Or has been
Hustled
Out the door
And I...?
I am the stranger
At the
Opposite end

BOY OUTSIDE
"When I look at certain things, I find them attractive or interesting or beautiful, and I take pictures. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not so good..."

There is a switch on the dash
You can find in the dark
That will light your way home

INCIPIENT RAIN
This morning
I swallowed the sunrise
Washed it down
With incipient rain

NO RELIEF FROM YOURSELF...
Not today
Probably not tomorrow

PATIENCE
Greet the enemy
Each morning, it takes so much
Patience, being me

POETRY APPRECIATION
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.

LATE BEETHOVEN
What if all the sound
You ever heard existed
As a memory

COLD RUST
It requires little effort
To scrape away the cold, cold rust
As into early mornings
I poured that cup of trust
If it were not such hearty liquid
It would most certainly be dust

EPICARICACY
Is that some kind of sour grin
Veiled by twitching fingers
That betray your glee
And not your grimace;
The pump of a fist
As I am matted?

TONE POET
I would love to hear
The tone within a poem
Through its innocence
