It so depends
on the
right word
spoken
to the
right person
at the
right time.

It is more
what is said
than how
it is phrased.
Like bees
back and forth
in and out
of my
flower bed.

I convey
all my emotions
by saying ****
in assorted tones.*
But, feeling that
sounded somewhat
uneducated, he
then said, *I express
all my emotions
in varying tones, affixes,
and tenses of ****.

I can hear them
In the distance.
Geese.

Sugaring shack,
Maple tree sap.
Boiled down to
Syrup.

Hopping, looking,
Head cocked to side.
Robins.

A patch of snow
Waits for the sun.
April

Please excuse
the gentleman
on the middle cross
since he has had
a difficult day.
Long walk, bleeding side,
stinging palms.

             He mumbles
in a language
the Greek speaking soldiers
              beneath him
do not understand as
they loiter about
waiting for his
labored breathing
to cease
so that
they may
pull him down
bury him
then go to
their quarters
and their wine,
for the afternoon
is waning.

The universe is,
perhaps, too vast
to feel any impact,
but even the
usually emotionless
Azrael will lightly
kiss my brow
in recognition of
the vastness
of my love for you
before he sends
my soul on to
God for judgment.

Now that you have left
me alone I have no one
to do nothing with.
