a dark cloud blocks
the Summer sunset,
but light won’t be pent.

Poison Ivy [Lyric Poem]
Poison Ivy, I think you know
that you will always be my foe.
I can slice your vine, pal-o-mine,
and still end slathered in calamine.
Because I must haul your corpse away,
and on my gloves your oils will stay —
waiting that unexpecting day
when I scratch some tender bit.

the bird's head turns
so one eye is upon me,
something grows cold.

Solid [Haiku]
at day’s end,
atop the mountain, clouds
look like snowy peaks.

a thousand hikers suppress
the urge to kick.

Silent City [Haiku]
from mid-bridge,
above the sprawling river:
the city, silent.
