happy old year

the sun moves slow
if you stay a while
you can watch it go
to night
a shadow cast
in a leading role
lingers past the last applause
a pause
the year dissolves

soft skin (for adeline)

Soft skin
often
taken for granted
Sweet heart
let it in
Grow where you're planted
So evermore enchanted

Born in the Grace
On the edge outside
Of a land, of a space
No one
No one
No one dignified with an answer
Seizing the seams
of a patchwork prairie
With an unseemly past
I am wary
Very wary
And you, you're weary
Unending meddling
Scared of losing your mettle
Unsettling thoughts
Settlers won't unsettle

mo(u)rning dove

Mourning dove, I never know
If you spell your name with just an "o"
Or if you are singing to contain your grief
Oh mourning dove
Singing songs so brief
Mourning dove, do you sing of love
It's a rhyming scheme that fits like a glove
Or is your aching from way up there
More akin to a very public prayer
Mourning dove, I'll never know
What you sing of while I am below
Still I am grateful to hear you syncopate
Oh mourning dove, never early
Not too late

Precipitous sits
A milkshake on a car roof
Don't drive away yet

invention
01:22
|

|
Seek sequestered thoughts yesterday brought
Take advice from robots
Invention is the greatest invention
So don't be afraid of it
Invention is the greatest invention
So don't be afraid
