peacefully drifting
around the calves
of those in search

Ganesha [Free Verse]
Ganesha: Obstacles removed & Good luck brought All yields to the elephantine forehead & elephantine learning Seemingly immovable when seated, but I've seen you swing; hoisted by a crane & dangled out over the water But the pendulum arc was short & stiff & precarious: as if it might flip the crane -- every remover of obstacles must leave a detritus of past obstacles in its wake

Mirror [Free Verse]
The mirror lies,
pretending to be a window.

in fine detail
&
with a glossy coating,
but it can’t be escaped.
Its truth is overbearing.
That’s how it lies.
