Good friends to me,
To each other,
Their hearts and souls
Brimming love.
A decade passed
Since this photo,
And both had grown
Angel wings.
Sweet moments
Of memories
That won’t ever
Depart.
Dedicated to Kathryn and Carol, forever thankful to have known you. You are forever in my heart.

The child gawked at the offers,
Little jaw dropped agape:
Who put Elmo in icing?
Why would anyone want
His best friend to bake?
The boy’s eyes traveled upwards,
Rounded wide at the shelf:
How did Ernie and Bert
End up stuck into cakes?
Can you pull out poor Oscar?
Can Big Bird escape?
This won’t do for my party
I want ice cream instead.

The air pristine
On angels’ winds,
Unspoiled by what
Mans’ hands can bring.
In feathered clouds
And oceans’ swing,
It heralds surf
Of joy within,
To mark the waves
With dance that gleams,
And breathes along
A song to sing
For all that dreams.

Side by side
They keep near
In the wind
In the rain.
Limb to limb
They hold hands,
Close company
They maintain.
Friends in all
Friends in fall.

At the fringe of the habitable
Where the ice kisses sky,
And the black rock remembers
Lava’s wrath, ashes’ sigh,
The cold wraps hands around hearts
To reach deep and warmth pry.

Sentinels
Set in stone
Guard gates of
This temple zone.
Come to leave
You must pass
By these guards
From the past,
Who protect it
Perhaps
From time’s
Inevitable collapse.

In a park, on a lawn, by a
Trail
This board aimless wander
Curtails,
And the question it
Raises
Brings along varied
Phrases.
What would your heart
Assign
If you saw such a
Sign?

And the waters
Rushed
Over slicked rocks
Into ravines.
Deafening the song
Of birds,
And burbling of
Fish,
Into thunder
Mist
As the bamboo
Creaked.

Bravely walk the briar byways
Brushed to either side by burrs
Each step bordered by the brambles
That await the birth of berries
And bar the fruit from brazen strays.

Amid pebbles and sand
Atop tenacious pale greens
Three mouths unseal
In communal reveal
To welcome
Potential
Under an
Arid sun.
