PIKES PEAK

"Get out!"
I yell
"Push!

MOURNING

We started the morning
Too soon
I think

CONFIDENCE & ARROGANCE

Hang in my closet
Side by side
Both multi-colored

I AM NOT A CAMERA
I AM NOT A CAMERA

To reveal myself
In layers of
Shutter stutter

MY FRIEND

Joins me
Sometimes at the beach
We walk and talk together

SUCCOR

I feel sad at the beach this morning
Sad for the person I once was

CAUGHT

Wind blown horizon
Scrim curtain lifts
Cacophonous roar

WORKERS

I love workers
The man who sweeps the floor
At the Merchandise Mart in Chicago

QUANDARY

Choose treasure defined, freely given,
Or mine, the mine within, pure sweet beauty.
Know the life of that not chosen never.

PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH

For lunch today I make a peanut butter sandwich
with cherry preserves. Good protein and carbohydrates.
Quick energy. Creamy peanut butter,
