Chapbook "Hail Metropolis!" (Nature)
BUTTERFLY
A dangerous thing.
Inspirations' fragile wings.
Metamorphoses.
BARRIER REEF
Great walls dividing.
Vast cold deeps from Summer seas.
"Hail Metropolis!"
LOTUS FLOWER
Morning--Star-burst--bloom.
Floral crown on tranquil lake.
She walks on water.
SEAHORSE
Pregnant father sways
Rocking chair to Oceans' gait.
Champions patience's race.
BOMBYX MORI
White Mulberry leaves,
Veins of Univoltine wine.
Silk, worm's waste of time.
ORCHID
Soft petals open.
Easy like wild poetry.
Medicinal muse.
LAVENDER
How like a feather
Dancing meadows' Royal hue.
Perfumes the twilight.
OWL (Query)
"Who?" Rather than
tweet
In the dark keenly can see
All her nameless prey.
DEATH VALLEY
Akimbo cacti
Off the scenic highway road
Flail in Hell's hot suns.
TSUNAMI
Deaths' devastation.
Chaos drowns all the petty
Wars and last concerns.
COMMUNING
These very mornings
I awe as the blue ocean drinks
The sky bleeding gold.
DINOSAUR
All you have are bones.
Our flesh once Giants : lies, dust.
My feelings extinct.
SUNFLOWER
A golden pinwheel.
Tall and proud, the face of day,
Burns bright love's bounty.
POPPY
Her rouge a deep dark
pharmaceutical Red to
kiss your pain away.
THE SWALLOW
*
Rain's graceful feathers.
The Spring's swift wisps' arriving
Two Tailed Brothers' Breeze.
ROSE
No other fragrance
But from her kiss--sublime songs
True Love's red flower.
AGUA
*Siempre Vivir
Go quench your thirst and your soul,
'Cuz Life drinks for free.
IN SPRING
Orange breasted plume.
A Robin bird trills and swirls.
Seasoning her nest.
ASPHODEL SNOW
Gossamer winter.
The fractal window panes sigh
white breath of flowers.
LIGHT-YEARS
Space is Time is Light
it's speed can measure eons'
infinite distance.
