Moon In Moon

before twisted trees
the moon is all web
swaying slightly
it will not
break free
tonight

in bright light
a moth of surprise
lands in desperate flutter
caught in its own death
it cocoons moon
in moon

Crisp

Crisp

sweetness lingers
in hesitations
of april winds
winter hay
horse
and
man

his apple such red
holds an open hand
the mare's wet breath
licking
in a crisper
wind

War and Lilies

War and Lilies

from trees
see the worn pond
longer column of moon
lying still
heavier in the glimmer
of still moving lilies

Laguna

Laguna


tiny flowers  dusty spill
from dull hills
crash of sun crush of wave
impression of pink rocks
the boy glorious
is in the tree
of his dreams
poem of poppies
eucalyptus
sides of more hills
sliding into rushing foam
of a blue then
deeply green sea
