wedge-shaped clouds of migrant geese
pay tribute to the autumn sky.
Sighs of wind stir crumpled leaves; . . .

Flotsam
Hooks rising tides--
As books take rides on trucks--
To beaches round the earth's diff crust
For ardent devourers of enigmas
Who divine tableaus from tidbits
Once fondled as fine art . . .

Your lenses, crystal clear--
Twin orbs of blue, polished by tears
Of your lovely making
To tease my heart to plead for you
To spend eternity
With . . .

Portals
Let my love pass
Through ever-changing life
Into atmospheres that bathe her,
Clothe her, and scent her so her laughter peals;
Her echoes touch my lonely room,
Send me through melody
Dancing . . .

Here goes the bell –
Twice six hours in a clock;
Heavy, not my eyes,
As much as my thoughts;
Oh my sleep you give me sweet dreams –
Bringing my fairy, where are you?
Where are those . . .

"Dear girl don't cry,
Thy tears will tear my heart!
Oh dear, please smile –
'Twill make me happy –
At least for a while;"
With these words –
He knelt beside . . .

IRELAND IN THE SPRINGTIME
I went to Ireland in the springtime
the sky rinsed pearly gray with rain,
the sweet soil sprouting
tender green buds and shoots,
fern green, forest . . .

Hope draws me in
With soft tendrils
Slipping over
Long untouched skin
Small fires to tell
Of your passage
Again, again
Until I breathe
Sweet scents of you,
Perfume mingled
With . . .

Mauve and purple
and bands of pale yellow
weave through bare December branches.
The sun hangs low, an old gold pocket watch.

Cold Rain
Cold rain
spills down all day.
Huddled against the sky,
pigeons brood into their feathers.
Grayness to darkness to infinity.
Crowded beside blank-faced strangers
on the Five-Thirty-Two, . . .

Is that 'cause me waiting alone?
Today, it's dressed like me
An unmarried widow –
Waiting in this lonely beach.
Look – the playing waves – . . .

The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the green grass; on the Gall Face, the light
Gleams, . . .

He cried, though a strong man he was;
"Why my maid,
Like that you said?
Am I wrong –
In my love?

Without you no long!" . . .

An inviting time
Of gentle breezes
Beside a canal,
Feet dangling over
An ancient stone wall,
Hungry, eager ducks
Rasping their demand
For the bread you drop
Past your sun-warmed knees . . .

Here in my lonely room
Where fingers tap out thoughts
I dream of an active place
Where deeds replace thoughts
Where mouths issue melodies
Where eyes tell me tales
Where legs jump for joy
At the . . .

No questions or desires blurted down the hallway.
No delivery of daily vignettes across the sofa´s pillows.

Rocketman or superstar
When you've been hit by cupid's aim
Your soul's ablaze with passion's flame
Of love, desire, in swirling gyres
Of taste . . .
