Coffee

look there! the counter
is it the edge of earth? or
a glass below it

it’s brimful with soot!
and the bitter details hide
flavors of mourning

but, still. the coffee,
nervous, twitches, bounding forth,
wakes and alerts us

An Honest Variation in the Plan

Considerably honest variation in the plan
when the dog runs, you follow
reunited with the black moon

La Luna

do I see you there?
in the black shadowy night
I will wait for you

Feed the Soul

Apart, no less
than the whole love I hold
refuting fear to its counter-step
one-two-three

Reading the same arm’s length

I really want to
say today is a good day

and yours, a true blue
everyday is a good day
we read the arm’s length

her warm heart embraces
robotury of my ways;
you lean me onward

i thought to say this

ever so steadfast

my ship to you still
floating in the cool bay breeze
those lips steer me on

infinite lover

Infinite lover
and my heart is pumping fresh
blood to clean my wounds.

his mane, objective

clear disguise, water
peppery-white koi, staring

Pumpkin Soup

I sip my pumpkin soup
and I imagine it is a part of me, after death.
I am eating the soup
NOW diligently,
but a Big Boy threatens the other half.

World War II baked, liquified, cooled, back to a simmer
we are all pumpkin soup.

Be a Tee

How silence exemplifies the finer details!
Integrating into shadows, to keep focus strong.
The night is clear enough to hear infrared signals
of a moonlit shakuhachi pleasure.
Where could I be but here?
