Sun, bright redeeming sun
Shocks and surprises me this dawn
As I patiently creep between
The long made bed and
The one I am slowly building. Continue reading

Whip-poor-will guilt -bucket is a tempting dark pit
Filled with born-too-soon moon blues;
My po’ blister’d goin’-nowhere-fast feet don’t fit
My muddy-water, busted shoes.
A fractional tip of another-too-far mile
Weight of the world, tear-blade shoulder
Just ain’t possible fo’ single man-chile
To feel more deserted or get any colder.
This question-prompt night, I feel the
Travel-far wind of her passing –
My cold-silver princess moon –
As it gently settles its precious
White-ice powder
On my aching soul and
She moves towards me,
Paying no mind to whether
The moon be full or no.
She drifts away,
In sun-time
Or in shadow.
When I think,
Think of the space I left behind,
Beneath those happy-stars,
Between those friendly-hills,
Before those deep-green, lover-eyes.
The place I left behind
This still evening
Cool cloudscape bubbles rise,
Spread across the horizon
Like ogre’s thrice warmed,
Ugly supper beans:
Grey, slow, irresistible.
Be certain-sure that the full
Treasure-moon also rises; that
elven-blued stars wing across autumn skies
In the rich fairy lands; the realms we
May be lucky enough to glimpse
Only behind our eyelids;
Beyond our fragile, tip-toe dreams.
Equinox-near morning
Is darker than those of late.
The tack-carry walk passes
In glorious, spiritual-dawn silence.
Is one of those rare
Hawk-holds-breath moments:
When the sky sits still
On the lies and ribs
Of the grey horizons;
Before wind stirs,
Before moon rises …
When, invisible and sublime
A minstrel bird in ancient tree
Gives the peace-to-all prayers
That day’s end deserves;
That invite us to take as much
As we need for hurting selves –
And a little bit extra
To spread around.
