POEM: Danube
High enough to glimpse the tail of the serpentine river that snakes through town.
I thought about the marriage of possibilities created by that ceaseless flow.
And all seemed possible under heaven and on earth.

GREEN WINTER HAIKU
a crow caws
standing on a stout post
black eye watching
a child wonders,
beyond this rainy valley,
is it white?
nothing scurries
but mushrooms sprout
wet forest floor
lonely bus stop
one man waits for a nearly
empty bus
streaks of blue
viewed through cloudy skies
a bird hops

POEM: Unbridled Exuberance
At the sight of I know not what,
something — or, maybe, someone —pointed out by his grinning granny,
I saw a boy run in place,
overcome by enthusiasm from the waist down —
like a cherubic Michael Flatley sans the coordination, but with exuberance to spare.
At the sight of the boy,
I couldn’t help but ask myself when my idle setting got turned down so low.
Surely, once upon a time, there was something that so excited me that my limbs bypassed central control and spastically did their own thing…
but I can’t remember when.

POEM: Geometry of Gunfire
geometry of gunfire
ricochet went that way
the spray of spall tells all
some silent medium
will gauge the victim’s run
with
visions of a smoking gun
… and you thought you hated Euclid in High School
