A Mirror Floating in Water

Here are some short poems from over the past six months:

Sorrow

I saw a face today
Tortured and malingered
He looked into the mirror
And never saw himself


Say

I said something one day
I opened my mouth
And out came the snout


A Meal

I ate something one day
It looked at me and said 'no'
I put it into my mouth


The Duck

There was a duck in
The pond, swimming, with ripples
Curving in water


Rebirth

Flowers bloom and grow
In springtime when colors sing
And all is reborn


Clocks that Tick

Find time
Unwinding


My lost love
The only thing I really have
The only thing I really have
The only thing I really have


Happiness

It is raining
We have all the time in the world


Contrast is the only thing
That can speak the truth
And not give a damn


Dear little diary
Hear my hushed words
Do not let me know


these tri-
vial runes
have caught
my form


i found no kite
fly-
ing in the sky


phone the lost dogs
for i may find them
among many bogs


Heahd turning

Exploding

flying

unattached

i looked off onto the shimmering lake

from the bridge

and thought it too unbearable


Green grass left untamed
Now weary from the sun
Dries up into dirt


Silent muttering
Echo in my hollow cave
Throughout the midnight
