Raven’s Gaze

And raven spies me

This face gazing from the stone 

An ancient presence 

A Haiku for Cicero 

My dear Cicero
The glorious written word
Delights my soul, too


Seen outside Bellingham’s Village Books.

Within destruction’s song

within destruction’s songs
lie the call of rebirth
phoenix’s prophetic
return from the flames

oblivion

Summer’s Evening 


In the park’s silence
Evening’s calmness filling it
Summer’s light fading

Perhaps 

Perhaps I cannot 

Change much in 

This broken world 

Where cynicism 

Valued more 

Than compassion. 

Perhaps. 

Innocence 

Innocence’s core 

Deep into the abyss 

Consumed by our longing 

Willing sold for love 

A fair trade?

This Past Weekend

Step away from “life”

And mania’s strange comfort

Learn what is worthwhile

A View to the West 

Night’s rest is now done
To the west, sunlight, water
Cold, deep, cruel
