the river widens,
slows / stopping, in places;
so goes my mind.

Raccoon [Lyric Poem]

It dips it not to get it clean
but to flavor it: Swamp Latrine.

A Walk in Winter Woods [Free Verse]
In Winter,
when blue sky shows
between the twiggy,
bare branches,
the forest is not so
claustrophobic,
but sound and wind,
alike,
carry through.
A mind can roam
between the bracing
breezes.

little green sprouts,
the only verdant hue:
barren Winter woods.

Skittish is the Great Blue Heron.
It feels when you're stopped and starin'
and will crisscross water like Charon
to keep you on the other side.
