SELF
So I said to myself
Self
Where is this leading
this living
this being
where is this leading I asked in a moment
of weakness
in a moment of pure futility
maybe the only pure thing I’ve
ever
known
as pure and as cold as the
mountain stream this futility
and I have made me a home in it
a warm home with a
fire
where I can burn my moments
and watch the smoke rise up from them
to heaven.
***
Seeds and Weeds
plant seeds
that is my only advice
plant seeds and let the flowers grow
and pull the weeds yourself
for yourself
till whatever soil you have in this
world
grows flowers
words
music
art
ideas
science
grow anything which is good
and pull the weeds
yourself

Questions/Answers
wonder and bewilderment
are our only clues
the question is our common friend
companion
foe
answers are times only
possession
the sun only appears to rise
set
the moon only appears to have
light
the stars only appear as tiny specks
all is not true
we appear to die forever

Oh Sunlight
Oh sunlight
all the romantic poets are
dead
except for
me
I will reach into the dew
I will
because it has been so long
so long indeed
so long since we and beauty met truth
***
oh my
oh my
tonight the night
glides
tonight
the rhyme needs
no
rhyme
nor the zinnia no color not
known nor
noticed
like these
words
dropped so casually
like
petals
in summer
