Which way next?
He requested,
Will it be up
Or down?
Are we headed
To Nature
Or perhaps
Sutherland?
Will we go
With the horses
On the bridle path left,
Or take the loop
With the birders
And turn right
At the cleft?

Up and high
They pierce the sky.
Clothing floor
By floor
With glass,
They climb
Through city space
En masse.
In large cranes
O’er river,
Rails and roads,
They build Manhattan
Load
By load.

In the slowest hour of the night
She came in robes
Of dreams
To weave the nearest future
Into light.
She swished along the desert
Roads that only
Deepest yearnings
Take
And whispered:
It shall be.
You’ll find the path
To follow when you
Wake.

With slightly curled
Petals’ ends,
She is feeling
Her age.
And she smiles
At the buds,
That unfurl
A fresh edge.
Sun and wind
Kissed her leaves.
Rain had shared
Its own drink.
She is older
But happy,
To live in all
Shades of pink.

I did not quite expect,
On the beach, in the sun,
A visit from dinos
Puppeted by a man.
Granted these all were smaller
Than the ones I would fear,
But I still did not really
Want them too near.
My eyes must’ve
Been wide
As I waved
Him aside,
But two chairs
To the right
He sold three
With delight.

They gazed forlorn
Into the light,
Into the lumber
Burning bright.
All that they’d known
Before this plight,
Now kept them warm
Through heartache’s night.
*Dedicated to all who’d lost homes, lives, memories, and loved ones in fires and other disasters.

Tilt the world.
Let the ocean,
Pour
Itself
Into your heart
In molten
Light.

Stretch above
To where the flapping
Propels you farther
On the breeze.
From there to see
The light retreating
Over Earth’s curve
At day’s reprieve.

When she rose from the depths to where the world mirrored dark, she observed the bones of monsters no one disposed of, and the hulks of others poised to glean the phosphorescent plankton from the indigo above.

Old it stretched
Brooding shade
O’er neat furrows made,
Watching new rows reborn
And the greens
Field adorn,
Growing tall, rising now
Making lush, anyhow.
