The bare earth
The scratched skies
The predictable people midst their ponderous lives
And I live to see them over time
As they progress towards somethingness
Towards no outcome which will leave any of us
Alive

Watching towns

Building A Realization

First word a dart
Second and third Lego parts
Pieced together until the bridge is built
Until the nothingness is captured in the still
And held there in midair
As you jump the mid embrace of somber quill
And I
The hand to hold it still

Building A Realization

A Life Most Human

I am steam from the kettle
I am the smoke from the pipe
I am the wisp upon the willow limbs
The stillness in the dead of night
The steel upon the tracks which lie
The wings on the back which flies
Like skyscrapers in the burning distant sight
I am the final swings of the scratching fight

Not about arrogance, but about the wide array and variation of life.

Beyond Time

There a mountain in my rearview mirror
  a magnet for my soul

Pulling on what’s only borrowed
  its lease to keep me whole

There’s a mountain in my rearview mirror
  calling out my name

Its winds have blown my heart to rest
  —which time cannot reclaim

Space To Grow

Does your mind have a second floor
  that’s very seldom used

A place your thoughts can freely roam
  safe from life’s abuse

One story up, your story forms,
  its telling far below

The height of peace and solitude
   —with space for you to grow

(Santa Fe New Mexico: February, 2019)
