PANIC in Emperor’s guard;
METAL bars sawed through,
AGATE disc, reverenced cosmic
MODEL: gone. The earth trembles.

Known to a mind departed
VINYL hoard, worn and crackly, songs of generations past,
DOWDY house’s ornament slipped through time to dated,
STEINway unplayed, yellowed sheets mid score on stand,
PANELed library guarding books known to a mind departed.
Dilapidated
VINYL siding falling off
PANEL by panel, showing colors like a
STEIN full and foaming, erstwhile home now
DOWDY from neglect.

Undimmed Beauty
LOSER, each? Bound for dirt or drift away as ash,
ALLOTed four score of striving, loving, hating, only for names to fade. No!
FIXER, recreator, comes to grant the win,
SPARK back into us all we were meant to be; eyes will open to undimmed beauty.
Kindling
LOSER of ways, plots, and self, a
FIXER-upper in aspiration;
ALLOT room for oxygen in your heart’s tinder:
SPARK after spark of affection landing.

Speck
SPOONed out with ease a god these mountain masses?
SPOOKed with thoughts, pondering vast force, climber toils,
SCARY the whats or whos who raise and sculpt great heights,
SNOWY slog, labored breath, each step speaking: I am a speck.
Dress Warmly
SCARF like Linus’ blanket for those who
SPOOK easily at even a
SPOON full of weather––those
SNOWY gales of memory.
