Eyes Listening
as Journstar
takes last sip of her nightcap
feels the weight of her eyelids
the sky
the hills
the trees
the lake
they speak to me
each dusk a different story
Haven
just a small parcel
garnish’d by man
our housekeepers
preserving our endangerment
though not the wild
the vanishing wild
consum’d by
cement
technology
and violence
this alternate paradise
must suffice as paradise
until Nature’s children
germinate
from Mankind’s progress
… or Mankind’s ashes
Mule Train
Sequoia
proud
stand We firm
upon the graves
of Elders and Brethren
who pray’d and stretch’d
each day
towards Blue Heaven
towards Nightfall’s twinkling eyes
ere their footholds
were drown’d by Rainfall’s bender
or shear’d by bellowing Air
or Time’s final blessing
Night Wand
under a slender moon
waver our dim shadows
till goes breathless
the dark wind
our souls conjoining
to doting sharp silhouette
Nopal Sculpture
she bless’d neighborhood
with beauty and sustenance
till fatigued by time
Stardust
have our spirits always been
as fancies my heart?
from time’s weaning
to Eden
to redwood saplings
to when Everest was but a plain with child
to when clouds cry’d into Atlantic canyons
to when a candle yawn’d and stretch’d
and marry’d Night with Day
Oh, yes
We were there
