		<description> Wondering

or is it Wandering?

                    I watch 
 worlds passed 

or is it past?

                  by 
 Fragments, 

Pieces of time

                   Lost 
 Tokens,

Infinite possibilities

               Waiting 
 Never 

          to be 

                   Me.

		<description> Thinking Motif 
 It is quite possible the trees require

little attention — it is only wood

and ants and leaves and bark.

Besides, the way the cat-tails frame

each puddle of pond

there’s a better poem disclosed

in water. But maybe the trees

are in need of gazing, 

and that is why they spread and shake

and whisper. They bud — 
 and we inhale, culling one moment

from another. Maybe there are no trees,

only blobs of leafy anchors;

projections of twigs and nests 

where nothing owls float in nothing skies. 
 It is only words not real conversation,

you’ll whittle what you want

and drop the shavings to earth,

unable to grasp the beauty of a tree

in the company of flames.  ... more  </description>

		<description> I revise my lips over 

and over edit them until

they are my very own.

Thin unworthy lips

that graze on yours

until there is blood

or spit and wine

the soft flesh lingers

like old Jack Daniels 

in a square bottle or

a fat husky throaty laugh 

stolen from your dad.

At last when they are 

the lips that could possibly 

tell my story they are 

entitled to verse. 

A feeling twists around

my teeth chink against

the glass. The swig slugs

my uvula rattles around

my teeth chink against

the glass. Again. You

smile. Your eyes trace

my shadow on the floor. 

Rough draft from beneath

the door becomes a final

copy. We both turn it in.



Our lips, unworthy, yet

entwined.   ... more  </description>

		<description>   
Forced down from Eternity’s Mountain 
You were misshapen into an image 
By the hands of inferior, infantile souls, 
Who were barren of your immortal wisdom. 
  
They demanded your attributes  
To be blackened by their own desires;  
And these resentful, envious children  
Placed pieces of your burning coals  
Into pottery much too crude for your magnificence. 
  
  
And Your glory faded into ashes.  ... more  </description>
