alone on the web,
drops of sensitivity
embrace an eyelash

Winter comes again
No poetry left in me
Only these dry leaves

Sects Fundamentals

"This the true human knows:  the strings of all the ways
 make up a cable of great strength and great purpose."
           Frank Herbert/Bill Ransom, The Jesus Incident
 

branches are wooden
rigid cells ordered to forms
only the sap breathes

Moment

sometimes black birds fall
like leaden leaves from bare trees,
then go bobbing seeds

Life

Opossum, so still
Greet this life, engage the wheel!
Oops, wrong end - road kill

Gulf Shores, Alabama

foam flow, splash and roll
petticoats over my toes
(dancing with the sea)

Solar Observation

white teeth and strong bones
sunshine makes you beautiful,
smiling desert skull

                         11/6/1999
