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

Nopal Sculpture (from the Time Capsule)

she bless’d neighborhood

with beauty and sustenance

till fatigued by time

Pacific Perch

drawn to me you be

till be seen the words below

which speak for themselves

2_Man Band

no massive arenas
no roaring crowds
no thunderous instruments
no overwhelming colors
which have their time and place

appreciatively
be there instances
for more intimate moments
for a lighter sound
for easy listening
for perceptible conversation

didn’t know that song
but fancy’d it

here’s something for the kitty

Haven of Reflection

where shadows of thoughts

perceive irenic meaning

and sleeps disruption

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

Hear the Waters

transfix’d
my senses
on the soft chatter
blowing
amidst snow-patch’d rock
and woodland folk

with the dream
the hope
the celebration
of their company
for many tomorrows
