Just one year in Chicago
       Divinity School
               Lonely

Struggling throughout the day
Quiet in the night
Talk to my son: xie xie
Courage in the fright

We're gonna practice driving
Gonna see him through
Departing and arriving
Maybe GMU

                      hope!

Siena Cathedral
black and white stripes
            sunlight

                  Snow.

It's cold outside
Wind through my chest
Drive home alone
Get a little rest

Sunlit Italy
Ireland misty grey
Call my son tonight
Basketball to play

            say hey

Keep him right on track
Days and nights to go
My darling darling boy

     krop kun kop

Ice and snow all day today
I stay inside and sleep
Talk to my sons

Embers
City of Ember
All the King's Men
Gatsby's green light

                       Flight!

Un poco Espanyol
Me gusta Florida sun
Irish eyes are smiling
Taipei 101

Is life an illusion?
Baby, Born to Run
Toledo, Ohio - Toledo, Spain
Un pequito fun

I got the bipolar still
Take my monthly injection
Ice and snow fall down
Sleeping in the night

My sons, my beautiful sons
Hang on, hold tight.

                       Alright!

Ice and snow
Yoko yo yo
       Zero

The gyoza tasted good
Snow comes falling down
No one important
The song of the clown

Cold winter night
I struggle, struggle through
Get them home safely
Maybe JMU for Q

           Maybe Carolina blue

Now she lives in you
Which is what Pat Hinman told me
When my mom died.

               I tried, Mom. I tried.

Emptiness. Silence. Compassion.

15 year old dies of cancer
      Celebration of Life

Get him in to view
Step by step by step
Battle back the blue

                      For Q!

The Americans are ignorant
See how they run
Late night taxi home
From Taipei 101

Stay inside and sleep
Please give up your guns
Humanity born to weep
Pero un pequito fun

                Volleyball!

my sons: callooh! callay!
       day by day by day
                    hope!

I got the diabetes
Wish I didn't, but I do
I'm tired this cold morning
And I don't have you

Me reading all alone
Library at Seattle U.
Mario Cuomo writing
Horton Hears a Who

                   still blue

muddle through
       slowly
     patience

The diabetes makes me tired
I lay in bed and lonely
Things fall apart
I'm growing old

Keep them, keep them close
Grateful for small victories
Another day
Note to self: don't fold.

........What a horrible day.......
fighting, sickness, suffering
                    strife

55 and falling
Try to do my best
American Despair
I need a little rest

Please, Life, protect my boys
Qualyxian the Quest
Tired. Exoplanets.
Way out, Way out West

European history
Ever ancient, Ever new
Her gentleness y mystery
Susan Meek not Sue

Sit here for many hours

Leonard Cohen in London
Quite late along
They don't let a woman **** you
Not in the Tower of Song

I took a train from London

Crossing the Baltic

Seattle to San Francisco
           Zen Center
              silence

I reach out but do not reach
Yo soy un isolato
First kissed her at the beach
Never forget that night
