Sunlight
   Sigh
   Aye!

Life is suffering
So I suffer through
Quiet in the night
Carolina blue

Driving, driving, driving

Grateful for small victories
Reading at Seattle U.

          Ever ancient, Ever new

A little chili for lunch
Get him to therapy
Beautiful sunny day

Keep him safe
O ye protective spirits!
Un pequito fun

Plurality and Ambiguity
         Chicago snow
            Yo espero

Maybe it's nothing, Maybe it's me
                       futility
                        hope

Seattle misty rain
          Kells
     Witherells

My son goes to the prom
I wait, wonder, worry
I still miss my mom
The sound and the fury

He goes with his friends
I hope he has a little fun
Politics portends
Taipei 101

                  Safety!

Portland's Japanese garden
                   tea
                   we

Waiting for my son
  hope. Fear. hope.
           waiting

I drift, I drift to older
My beard is white I know
My hand upon her shoulder
Moving to and fro

Please, Life, protect my son
Ordinary days
Protect him from the Strife
Protect him from the Maze

Tired. Exoplanets!
Maybe a Galaxy Quest
To sleep perchance to dream
Just to do my best

                           Yes.

7 Spanish angels
3 Italian stars
In my solitude
This love that we call ours

Tired. Lonely. Yearning.
The pain that living brings

Dark and troubled side of life
                   Waiting.
                    Waiting.

Dark and troubled side of life
                the Abyss
                 patience

Dublin misty grey
Bus through town
            Merci

I'm fond of little Reno
Fond of Sage Ridge School
Cordelia truly noble
Harold Bloom a fool

I taught Julius Caesar
Coached some basketball

Tahoe in the Fall

           River Eden, Wetheral

San Francisco Zen Center
            Just one hour
                   Silence

Memories of Seattle
    Grey and Green
            Water!

Sound and fury
Crazy wife
No need to hurry

Amidst the pain
Un pequito hope

I wait. I wait.
Let it be
All things pass

           Sledding!

No one important
Poems in the night
Drifting. Growing older.
Gatsby's green light

Things will just end
Won't work out right
Corpse to the Fire
Sor Juana's mystic flight

Tired. Exoplanets!
Puzzled by our plight
Lunch at China Ocean

May he rest in peace

24 years later
Still miss my mom

Sunlit Italy
The cardinals come to Rome
Kyoto to Tokyo
One night in Rieko's home

                   Grazie!

I am a taxi service
Which is ok by me
Keep him moving forward
Forward. Xie xie ni.

Once I was in Stockholm
Beauty Baltic Sea
Dailiness, O Life.
Purpose for my 3

                   We

One day I'll disappear
Find me already gone
Whisper in your ear
Surely, She's the One!

Hold my loved ones dear
Gentle steps ahead
Courage in the fear
Soon I will be dead

                      Ole!

my boys are growing older
I drift toward the end
the silence is eternal
silence be my friend

some good things for them
souped up 72
European cities
Carolina blue

                  New!

           hope!

There is no life after death
Is there life before?
Two gentlemen of Verona
One ******* in Elsinore

Seattle rain, Reno snow

Some good thing, Some thing that sings

                               Or ...

1 horrific marriage
3 beautiful sons
O ye Americans!
Please give up your guns

Play a little basketball
Un pequito fun
Twilight fades to darkness
Now the Day is Done.

Sleeping in the afternoon
Phone call to Q
Maybe Virginia Tech
Southern sky of blue

Phone calls, memories
2072
Magic the Gathering
Some good thing for you

                  'tis true

I wake my sleeping son
Comes another day
Keep him, keep him close
So many fears, such desperate hope

                        Slowly.

Grey day blues
  Maybe rain
  Surely pain

My son he watches movies
We play basketball
Keep him to me close
Companionship is all

Lonely as the rain
Drifting toward the end
Depression does return
Silence be my friend

                   Ole!

Drifting
Exoplanets!
     Sleep

Me in Copenhagen
Small window light
Soren Kierkegaard

Camus at JMU
I encounter the Absurd
O those French cathedrals!
Without you, life is hard

                Go Dukes!

I'm tired. Exoplanets!
Can't find words to pray
Small victories
Dawn goes down to day

The movie was quite moving
Gracias xie xie
Silence in the afternoon
Silent is the Way

             Yea, verily. Yea.

I wanted to be a poet
Find some words that rhyme
Feeling 55
The ravages of time

Keep him to me close
Dailiness not the Sublime
To sleep perchance to dream
He and I and I'm ....

I liked the traveling
Honeymoon in Rome
Temples at Angkor Wat
Very far from home

Stockholm for the summer
Rode the Dublin bus
When my father dies
What will become of us?

                     Trust?

Slowly. Calmly. With Patience.

Dawn goes down to day
               Slowly
                  Sigh

Not much goin' on
Any old kinda day
Walkin' through the mall
Can't find words to pray

Please forward for my sons
Slowly is ok
Small victories
Gracias xie xie

                       Ole!

I drift, I drift along
Lonely as the rain
Man of Constant Sorrow
Man of La Mancha, Spain

Tokyo to Kyoto
I ride the bullet train
Yes Portland, Oregon
Never Portland, Maine

Purple once more for me
A couple months in Dublin
Beauty Baltic Sea

Stepping around Fate
Into Destiny
Q alo alou
Oldest of my 3

Any old kinda day
Milk tea for lunch

Just drive my car
Can't find words to pray
So much solitary
Silent is the way
