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.

Caper
CELLO and violin rest in the
SHADE of a grand
PIANO––waiting to
CAPER through the ears to the soul.
Inter Species Concert
CELLO sounds out from the fence line.
SHADE abandoned, horses draw near, cease
CAPERing, become rapt audience! Next:
PIANO. How to get it to the paddock?
