Alcohol raging
In my belly like mad waves
Renders me inert
In my belly like mad waves
Renders me inert

inside aged men die,
all across frozen lake tops
blackbirds swoop for meals
all across frozen lake tops
blackbirds swoop for meals
it is simply wind
mixed with water it becomes
typhon bringing tears
mixed with water it becomes
typhon bringing tears
returning wild geese
rest at the brim filled farm pond?
guano underfoot
rest at the brim filled farm pond?
guano underfoot
the waters of spring
flood the meadows with blossoms?
walking the cows home
flood the meadows with blossoms?
walking the cows home
Catskill mountain lake's
thick veil of morning fog pierced
echoing bonsho
thick veil of morning fog pierced
echoing bonsho
up north?winter sun
skates across the frozen lakes
until spring sun comes
skates across the frozen lakes
until spring sun comes
surf embraces sand
rewinding the hour glass
waltzing with the moon
rewinding the hour glass
waltzing with the moon
Silk-black hair veils eyes.
Bare toes froth fountain water.
Soft Farsi giggles.
Bare toes froth fountain water.
Soft Farsi giggles.
Waves bring messages,
Mankind waits along the beach,
Those of peace still drown.
Mankind waits along the beach,
Those of peace still drown.
an early spring rain
drops gold onto sleeping dogs
women wake and cry
drops gold onto sleeping dogs
women wake and cry
The sun and wind flash
neon fish upon the pond ?
cold swim, bright shining.
neon fish upon the pond ?
cold swim, bright shining.
Where marigolds bloom
Crisp water runs smooth through roots
A lone shadow crawls.
Crisp water runs smooth through roots
A lone shadow crawls.
cottage by the sea
the rise and fall of your chest
with each crashing wave
the rise and fall of your chest
with each crashing wave
Lone gull on a sea
dons the sun and moon for wings
and soars forever
dons the sun and moon for wings
and soars forever
A bass freshly caught
lies still as death in the grass
then flops to water
lies still as death in the grass
then flops to water
one clear dancing pool
water full of moonlight sang
between dreaming leaves
water full of moonlight sang
between dreaming leaves
Sunlight and spring rain
Fertilize the ground below...
Green is their offspring
Fertilize the ground below...
Green is their offspring
crimson in the dusk
waves wash over the seagrass
as a seagull cries
waves wash over the seagrass
as a seagull cries
The water tumbles
Leaving all plants a treasure
Growing, then blooming
Leaving all plants a treasure
Growing, then blooming
Sea Sprites in the surf
dance a frolicsome fun jig -
wavelets flying high
dance a frolicsome fun jig -
wavelets flying high
breathing mountain air,
two boys skip the angled slate
across smooth waters
two boys skip the angled slate
across smooth waters
Last summer we slept
by the river side, my hand
almost touching yours.
by the river side, my hand
almost touching yours.
Whispers in the rain
descending towards black asphalt
masking endless night
descending towards black asphalt
masking endless night
Lightning cackles here
Blue sparks jump from heavy clouds
Rain soaks a white rose.
Blue sparks jump from heavy clouds
Rain soaks a white rose.
the river flows east
water carrying all life
dreams wash ashore cleansed
water carrying all life
dreams wash ashore cleansed
Ripples by the dock
sunfish peek up for bread crumbs
Sun shines on water
sunfish peek up for bread crumbs
Sun shines on water
on a seaside bench
my father joins his neighbour ?
autumn moon shows up
my father joins his neighbour ?
autumn moon shows up
clouds gather above
rain fills our picnic baskets
we go home hungry
rain fills our picnic baskets
we go home hungry
Grazing water's edge
Blue heron dancing with lake
Wings never touching
Blue heron dancing with lake
Wings never touching
Federal prison
Overlooks magic gardens
Water lilies bloom
Overlooks magic gardens
Water lilies bloom
coastal sage perfumes
sticky air sprinkled with salt
the deep green sea boils
sticky air sprinkled with salt
the deep green sea boils
rain hits hot pavement?
senses flood with memories?
scent of summer reigns
senses flood with memories?
scent of summer reigns
broken wood, split rock
hikers trudge along a path
mountains loom, lake shines
hikers trudge along a path
mountains loom, lake shines
field diving into
a river - weeping willows
cradling the full moon
a river - weeping willows
cradling the full moon
never turn your back
on the ocean, mother warned,
the dead come in waves
on the ocean, mother warned,
the dead come in waves
