He sat watching her
Dancing with another man
Stunned by the anguish
Facing Forward
He sat watching her
Dancing with another man
Stunned by the anguish
Often it’s mistakes
That demonstrate character
Kindness in the dark
Dawn comes earlier
Rain tapping on the sunlight
The Friday morning
We love violence
This spirit of compassion
Still calling to us
Rain falls in this town
The most regular event
And still we can’t drive
While I was driving
Upon a bronze lion: birds
Strange absurdities
I sit here typing
A buzz drifting through the air
Blades of grass shortened
My mother was born
In a small Washington town
The dusty center
Each creative act
Exploring beauty’s boundaries
Brings more light to being
