POEM: The Other Side
one never, ever, crests a rise
without killing off a pack of lies
the ugly lie: it’s all descent
belied by cold, granite torment
the pretty lie: continued gloom
skewered by rhododendrons in full bloom

POEM: Amboseli
belly-deep in glacial runoff
amid an emerald sea
a mud-caked troupe of elephants
the marsh free of acacia trees
Kilimanjaro looms in the distance
the source of all subsistence
if it should go
they’ll never know
it’s a death they can’t outdistance

Sky Haiku
moonlight
so bright silence
can’t be heard
azure sky
one puffy cloud
dances through
Andean night
the pinpoints I knew
a smear of color
Himalaya
so close that heaven
reveals its color
low gray clouds
leaf chaos unleashed
smell of rain

Bamboo Haiku
bamboo copse
groans in subtle wind
no space between
crows rule
the bamboo arch
over the road
bamboo grove
carpeted in grainy beige
alien landscape
plastic cup
gripped in crow’s beak
frat boy style
pink blossoms
will soon bleed onto
bamboo pollen

Desert Haiku
Cubes of sand
Tumble on a tiny scale
Scouring history
Camel lurches
Only in a land of sand
could it kneel
Grain of sand
Do you miss the sea
from whence you came?
Bleached bones
Sandblasted lopsided
How will you go?
Wind blown
zebra stripes in the sand
Nature’s echo
Dubai
