Everyone Has Questions Abbas didn’t like to do it, but there was no way he could allow her to continue her transmission. Mauve fell to a floor in a heap in the dim corner of the main hall. Omega ran ahead and nudged her still form with his foot. “Is she […]
If Trees Could Talk
If trees could talk, What would they say? If they could walk, Would they also play? Leaves tremble in silent breeze. Their colors change, as seasons please. Fruit for the plucking. Bees—nectar sucking. Giants with myriad homes, Rest for the weary soul. Hewn down. Unable to escape—fire, flood, disease… Yet […]
Yet Another Day
Exorbitant fear dooms all, In gloom see nothing but a fall. Dear spirits above holding tight, Overcome tragedy strong-willed might. Fragile flowers do harsh winds face. Honeybees against storms do race. My roots dig deep to foundation core, Faith holds me, feeds me from an ancient store. When the light […]

Above the landscape, amazing height. Birds flutter in anxious haste, You watch in expectation, not a breath of waste. My admiration […]
Perspective
There is a vulture circling overhead, I wonder—why can’t it be a sparrow instead? The drier signals come-get-me-now with demanding beeps, I tell the dog, “Go get the clothes.” She blissfully sleeps. Sink clogged; floor sogged, Land bogged; mind grogged. Willow-whisps of complaint flitter through my head, Think of kindness, […]
