Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the Fair Use protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

Above the river,

the restless clouds mounting and

tumbling, mounting and…

 

Thunder breaks the night;

lightning strobes the flat bedroom,

lining it in black.

 

After the late freeze,

through the window a white moon

counterpanes the bed.

Moon-marbled clouds

Drifting on a windless night…

Cloud-marbled moon…

 

Midnight clear and chill,

Empty, winding road—Mountains

Move to hide the moon.

Creek water cold and clear,

Shifting sand ripples under my feet,

Which of us travels farther?

Hot sunlight pooling

In the patio at noon—

The wind-chime sounds… once

 

Dry cicada shell—

After this generation,

Will I see the next?

 

The cat crouches, stares,

Then slinks away—a killer

Fearful of killers.
