North wind with Jack Frost and wayward winds
Santa loading sleigh, but let’s begin
Good little tykes and terrible twos
Awareness sets in, eyes sparkle truth
This never escapes your inner . . .

But he wondered
How many she had heard

Not belonging to one
Noon belongs to no one; the shadows don’t wait;
they rush, blend, mingle, finally evanesce.
Noon belongs to no one; no shadows. Brother . . .

Causing responses conscious and unconscious
In those who are . . .

Sundays of a Monday man
A Monday man has Sundays behind him too
when he lights a candle; kneels; pray for nothing.
A cat saunters through the time lying down . . .

I have scars you could see
Deep in my heart for you and me
My head would guide you by
My heart could but we could die
Far away you've gone
Here and now my pain flames still burn

Men and women look at the world
And see turmoil, fear, discouragement
Threats of war and the massing or fearful weapons
Of melting glassier and drought
And are "distributed . . .

What a slight presence
a whisper of a cashmere scarf
confectionaries’ sugar on her glossed lips
plump little pout
the mornings she brushed her wasp waisted presence

Making other plans
Chasing tails
Chastened tales
You understand
Too much
Not enough
Drop kick me demons . . .

I've been standing here down and out
Staring at the shut window thinking loud
If ever you'd come back to my heart
If ever we were never torn apart
These are the thoughts that burn my heart tonight. . . .

with a fistful piquant seeds analyzes

Ashes they make,
Dust they create,
Trees grow,
Nutrition they take,
Fruit they make,
Ripen it does,
Eat it we must,
Words we create,
The past we reverberate.
