from spring to winter
watching reels of seasons change
life pass by quickly
5/1/2025

moonlight spears my grave
as I lay to rest in peace
welcome little star.
5/1/2024

time and times to remember
sailing mostly quietly by

a memory worth remembrance
-love you found despite yourself

travelling a finite road
-with eternal consequence

friends and past lovers gone
-often prayer leaves lips

a whispered personal conversation
with the God of Love

in your loneness
this the best youv got.

the soles of my feet and toes
-hardly ever seen
have carried the rest of me
-over hill and down valley
-around in circles
-and when I lay on cold slab, dead as dead can be
my name tag will be tied to one big toe,
convenient for the mortuary.

in twenty four days
a birthday to celebrate

and it is not the number of winters
but the fact of birth, I salute.
