Half-wildling
Half-tame
She sometimes
Knew her name.
One moment she’d hiss
The next she would purr
To allow or dismiss
You from stroking her fur.

There’s a path in the park
Lined by mulch from trees past
So that every step presses
What had grown,
What won’t last.

Where the green spikes grow tall
And the artichoke blossoms
You just know that the future
Will taste pretty awesome.

Not all that splashes
Is worthy
Not all that glitters
Is gold
Beware those
In deepening swamps
Who won’t ethics uphold.

In all of life’s rides
Good perspective is gold
And it’s wise to remember
That the top half
Revolves.

Unbeknownst
To anyone
Pain stripped her bare
Inside her mind.
She put on a brave face
And smiled
So no one see
What hid behind.
But how I pray
She understands
She’s not alone:
Hope’s here to find.

Under azure sky the
Undulating arches
Sing
Of sun and shade
And time
Scooped in.

There is no need to bludgeon
To clobber
To hammer it home.
Butting heads is cathartic
But leaves no one informed.
Get points across kindly
For effective reform.

In the midst of the bustle,
The hectic,
The cramped,
A shared world
Sprawls lush green:
Just a few steps
Within
A deep breath
And some peace
To partake in.

He’s got all the right moves
He knows where the horn blows
He can tell you exactly
Where this big truck goes
He is one with the levers
Will press buttons with glee
He’s proficient in steering
It is quite plain to see.
