tributaries
of leaf
rock
and sand
holding hands
with eyes
of a woodland sea
where our own perception
has strength regain’d
where aching shoes
be soon forgotten

In Memory of Memory
with purpose I enter a room
only to ask myself “Why?”
standing… looking around…
struggling for the reason—
only to retreat backwards
retracing my mind’s steps
to the nearest beginning—
and after a while something reminds me
of my original task
and I bear for it aggressively
thinking only of it
till it’s done
it happens more now
I see a face in my head
someone familiar… or famous
whom I’ve seen hundreds of times—
I should know her… or him—
I do recognize them
but what were their names?
A…B…C… all the way to Z
sometimes helps
but not this moment—
I loathe to use th’ internet
but surrender to it… find my answer…
then repeat as many names
to match the faces clutch’d by my thoughts
it happens more now
I must practice…practice…practice
like keeping post-its for brain waves
that I might fail less
in the coming tomorrows
oh God!
what was I just thinking?
it happens more now

Dream Pollen 3

others for safekeeping
till the next runaway gale
Hope While the Dragon’s Awake
Spirit of th’ Earth
let us invocate
grace Her with gentle strokes
for purring comfort in Her song
inspiring floodwaters to don
their rainbow mists
into songs of encouragement
not for the morrow
when This Moment will do
to be ours to dream
