Floating [Haiku]

boats float the river;
balloons through the sky.
i float through time.

Dark Delta [Haiku]

sun sets upon
the river delta:
then pitch black night.

Shade [Haiku]

summer day from shade:
time attunes to floating
clouds and ducks.

Late Autumn [Haiku]

late Autumn: 
the last few leaves
refuse to fall.

“Bantams in Pine-Woods” by Wallace Stevens [w/ Audio]

Chieftain Iffucan of Azcan in caftan
Of tan with henna hackles, halt!

Damned universal cock, as if the sun
Was blackamoor to bear your blazing tail.

Fat! Fat! Fat! Fat! I am the personal.
Your world is you. I am my world.

You ten-foot poet among inchlings. Fat!
Begone! An inchling bristles in these pines,

Bristles, and points their Appalachian tangs,
And fears not portly Azcan nor his hoos.

Too Close for Comfort? [Haiku]

baboon onshore
grooms infant as hippo
glides past in water.
