Poems of Life and Death – 19

Camouflage

I am a dog
Running through the melty streets.
I care not about my soggy feet.
Let us play to start the day!
See my misty breath?
Nothing stops this doggy’s heft,
But when you’re gone, I am bereft.
(See a dog today, running free?
It’s me.)

Poems of Life and Death – 18

Happy Birthday

The world is your birthday cake.
The shape is elliptical,
Its flavor is mystical,
Served on a tectonic plate.
In icing from the exosphere
The planet’s flora
The color of aurora
Deck the journey of a year.

Poems of Life and Death – 17

House

The mountains hold the house of sun.
Crests of white and blue connect
An outline of the architect
Along their mortal run.

Poems of Life and Death – 16

Starship

Snowfall charts the filament
In nebulae of spruce,
Gravity’s instruments
Declassify the truth:
This atmosphere of green and white
Changes at the speed of light,
Warps the world through fields of gold.
A galaxy. Majesty. Behold.

Poems of Life and Death – 15

Construction

Neon orange and yellow equipment
Plastic, cones, rebar, fences
Delivery vans with mystery shipments
Hopping ravens in various tenses
Streetlights wrapped in LEDs
Tired machines, hydraulic dreams
Erase themselves a monument.
The forest looms an unseeable green.

Poems of Life and Death – 14

I strike the match.

Dressed for St. Peter’s,
I stand in the Colosseum,
Obedient to camera’s command.
The world selects a fate.
“LION!”

Green

Sugarboss.
Marble

Poems of Life and Death – 12

March

Call rhythm by its name:
Rain.
Rests are snow
Falling into place.
Pitch is oil
Ambiance of aerospace.
Of the sounds that music makes
Mistake this daybreak for a song
As symbols crash the dawn.

Poems of Life and Death – 11

Ignorance

Confident in stride
Searching for prize
I called the trees silent!
So
They canceled the hunt,
And drove this arrow
Through my pride.

Impact

The days are gentle meteors,
Falling snow.
Slow
This morning’s blaze
Of lavender.
