POEM: Eternity is Overrated
What bird or bat drives my fright?
I heard a bump just last night,
for the third night in a row.
Then a word, as from Poe’s crow,
&
the word I heard was evermore.
Yes, evermore. Not NEVERMORE!
Was this bird optimistic,
or eternally sadistic?

Night Haiku
chirps & clicks,
throaty frog croaks
nightly nocturne
just past dusk
bats take to balconies
urban caves
mountain skies
glow of nebula
ghosts in color
northern summer
dawn colors ever on
the horizon
deep north winter
light a distant flare
in Stygian eons

Fun fact: Instead of a dry season and a monsoon (rainy) season, Angkor has a rainy season and a rainier season. That is, there’s the Northeast monsoon season from December through April, and that transitions into the Southwest monsoon season that picks up from April through November.

POEM: Vanished Lands
vanished lands,
on a sandy sea floor sit stones —
once a city
who will find them?
what a pity,
someone dragged those stones into place,
nudging them into the shape of a temple,
a temple where fish now seek shade.

POEM: Two Minds
A man is of two minds.
One mind craves novelty.
The other seeks familiarity.
Woe the one who reserves the latter for reality,
letting the former fall only on virtual ground.
