big blue sky
   black smoke
         driving

Reno snow
  my sons
        Yo!

Ordinary life
Eating, sleeping, drinking
Laying alone in bed
Thinking thinking thinking

Protection for my boys
Protection for their friends
Als Ick Kan
Until the bitter end

                         Amen.

Just the little poems
For the little way
Lunch with my son
Gracias xie xie

Up awake at night
Tired in the day
Encounters with Chinese Hermits
Silent is the Way

Seattle grey and green
      Ferry boat blue
                You

Growing old without a woman
Grateful for my sons
In my solitude
Un pequito fun

I read of Mexico City
I ride the Tucson Train
What dreams may come
Runnin' round my brain

                  Sunlight!

Misty rain Seattle
Carolina blue
My son at Virginia Tech
Me at JMU

56 and falling
Trying to be true
London. London Calling.
