Undulating trip
On triangular
Height
Soon reaching top speed
In centrifugal
Flight.

For some reason it seemed
This ensemble
Should work …
To select
Or object
Or someone’s cash
To collect.

Take a measure
Of history,
Held in hand
Like a gift
From time.

As you descend toward the shore
You see
The water
Lapping
At the edges
Of what will
In a moment be
The touchdown to your welcome home.
Note: This photo was taken last month, on a cellphone, from behind the thick windows of a Boeing 787 on approach to JFK (shadow of the aircraft on the water).

Let the power
Of breath
Churn the air
Fill the earth.
Let the wind
Fill your sails
As you learn
To exhale.
Let the future
Flow clear
And may hope
Draw you near.

There stands the empty crib
The room that will not hear
The sounds of cries or coos or laughter.
There are the walls,
Fresh paint
Fresh pain
For the awaited,
For a broken chapter.
A heart
Missing
Breast and breath
For an eternity of loss,
Till the hereafter.
Note: Dedicated with love to all empty-armed mothers (in all their manifestations and realities and outward presentations), on this Mother’s Day.

Windows blink
Sun and shade.
Emptied glass
Peers ahead.
While the dome,
Ivy wrought,
Towers time
Boggles thought.

Go against
The pressing grain
And the common
Mindset,
To reach high
Toward the sky
And uniformity
Upset.

The days stretch on
In sun and shade,
Highlighting the contrast
To the lifespan of
A butterfly,
Its new wings splayed
In the warmth
To dry.
And I wonder
What the ancient rock thinks,
In contrast,
Of the human
Lifespan
Fleeting by.
