  • without loss

    ripples

     

    i can think of you now
    without loss
    after flowers have withered

    without asking
    why people, if they have any direction,
    always go toward separation

    why, after the sun sets
    passing time cannot bring back
    our childlike foolish days

    like the first blade of grass
    turning barren land
    into green fields

    even though you should have told me
    long ago, that where there are no gods,
    there is no temple

    finally i can think of you, no longer
    star bedazzled nor resplendent
    not in a beautiful dream or a dream of beauty

    finally the pain is only a memory of pain
    like the mirror of a lake
    after a stone falls and the ripples have subsided

  • hearing

    is a loss with or
    without nomenclature

    this poem is about lies
    of lines, ice cream and
    frosties (root beer) all
    day suckers and hard candy

    apple red, one strawberry split
    you see? one mini-van, a GMC
    half-ton...what did i tell you?
    no licking tongues? this poem
    is about Frosties! hear me now.
    or forever hold sweetness in

    your ear....Looks like a hearinggggggggggggggg

    problem.
