Out Post

Somewhere in time
Or infinite space, please grant
Us a tiny drop of grace.

Gray day

Rain drains
Down to the curb , in a superb
Display of gravity.

Fruit

First flowers
Peak from beneath the leaves -
Then small miracles.

Sunshine

Sunshine
Cool breeze is so divine -
Just a tease.

June 19 IV

No it was on or
About this date Gorden read
It in Galveston.

June 19 III

Or is that civil
Rights act was passed on this date
1964?

June 19 II

Emacipation
Proclaimed in September
1862 ?

June 19th I

Juneteenth day -
Marches and speeches and rallies
All day but why?

Olbrich Park, Monona IV

Screams that fade
As white tongues are ripped
From the earth.

June 9, 2011

Olbrich Park, Monona III

Savage screams
Ripping across deserts, echoing
In cold mountains.

June 8, 2011

Olbrich Park, Monona II

White tongues
Speak of flame, pains and piecing
Dark dream screams.

June 5, 2011

Olbrich Park, Monona I

Rows of white
Tongues reach out of the earth
Talk of war.

A Storm

Thunder rumbles
Rain taps at the window while hail
Pops like corn.

May 29, 2011

Nests

Delicate -
Weaved of twigs, hair and hay
Broken and empty.
