watch displays
so many steps
so many miles
a mature pulse
and calories burn’d

but the sweat
and heave of breath
be ignor’d
by destination’s view

Ghost Citadel

within these ramparts
converse the spirits
of fortress life
of defenders
of battles won to preserve that life
of battles lost and lives lost

this magical day
decipher’d their stories
into song across the sky
on the Backbone of Day

perceive irenic meaning

and sleeps disruption

I’m back—
After an 8-day staycation
with out-of-towner relatives.
Here are my wife and I
before breakfast at the Hotel del Coronado.
Hope all has been well with everyone.

Collision of Thoughts Unthinking (09-23)

hear I sometimes
the silent ones
so mischaracteriz’d

how are they?
or why?
to serve
to rule
to just pass time
with me?

possibly
my presuppos’d control
over them
be their way
of regulating my performances
both regular and unnatural

When Skies Collide

atmospheres
with wound’d sails
pelt’d by unseen winds

rouges
runaways
innocent bystanders

many having lost touch
from family flocks

or be it their dress rehearsal
an opera of imagination
for surface eyes
