Someone’s Perfect Spot
a couple of arboreal neighbors
sharing a daytime scene—
hearing Nature’s tongue
an avenue of rippling voices
cheerful expressions
their sisters joining in the fast lane
making wishes to go on forever—
away from honking brake lights
away from cement
away from the Cloud—
hoping for Today’s twin
be Tomorrow
Snake
I am fear’d
I am eschew’d
I am hunt’d
I am food
I am medicine
I am a pet
I am charm’d
I am admir’d
I am worship’d
I am a Serpent
… with Respect
Sedona
psychical energies
on a lightning carousel
chasing façades
to unknowns
enhancing cognizance
in search of a cure for the soul
Sequoia
through weather and fire
through footsteps and sharpen’d blades
surviv’d her seed
to become a dinosaur among the living
with hope to snatch the finish line
against modern civilization
and sire more heads in the clouds
Point Loma
catch a glimpse
one’s eyes
through a break
in the coastal ridgescape
transport the mind
to 16th century
to Juan Cabrillo
soldier explorer
the birth
of European boots
to engrave this western shore
the placenta
of California
Umbrage
bones of a shadow cast
the rind of its caster
eyes away from the light
speaking to other eyes
quietly telling time
