Come Dance

rusty hinge of door
sings to body’s aching joints
come dance once again

grasshopper atop
early autumn coneflower
enjoying the view

a thousand desires

cannot compete with one

subconscious death message

Tanka Poets On Site

pieces of my life
held by pieces of me
until puzzle filled in
some edge & middle still missing
wholeness an illusion

Tanka Poets On Site
(painted sky)

my palette pales
so many hues in desert sky
bright orange sun sets
behind buttes casting shadows
pink drizzles on horizon

Tanka Poets On Site
(shape of infinity)

a simple eight
on a chalkboard shows me
infinity
meaning comes decades later
two wombs constantly kicking

Tanka Poets On Site

life of two ponds
drowning below, lounging above
forever crossing
between the two
longing to settle in one
