Favorite neighbor’s vacant house
For sale
Sold.
Sixties rocker walks alone
One hit wonder
Seconal.
High school over-achiever
Most likely to . . .
Obit.
Spring’s efflorescence
Limps in to summer
Fall.

Whisky river
thoughts cascade
plunge against the rocks
splash misty vapors
feed starlit fog
all meander
struggle
find their way back home.

Adrift
ADRIFT
Germinate them
hope proclaims.
Dreams
spew their steam.
Contrails
lulled, a wayward breeze,
Evanesce.
Make thine own regrets.

Here
Twas put before me
Once.
Who is it I am?
And given to wonder
Why,
Is it to matter?
I am not so much that.
No.
Rather more this I think.
Trees and river and
Sky
All came there
With me, within me
Me
Was there to see.
I’ve done it.
Yes.
I’ve worked it out.
‘Tis plain to see.
At last
I am
what I am to be.
