I hear you
two out there
conspiring making mischief
when will he
you both wonder
kettle and cup
oh now dog
too has joined
the kitchen chorus
bringing along the
cymbals of dish
and adding drum
of tail against
the bedroom door
is it time
yet they sing

Sunny
Egg cracked
in pan
of night
edges dark
bubble brown
turn white
as sun
breaks the
eastern plains
and days
first meal
as morning
Frond
Having been set
to low simmer
scared of scorching
the bits of
me to stir
I bubble up
and carefully dance
fronds of what
could be percolate
and now finally
I have congealed
into a robust
deep and dark
reduction perfectly cured
and capable of
complimenting any dish
Pill
I’d stopped dreaming
instead settling down
into my routines
reality I realized
was the medicine
I’d been avoiding
the bitter pill
difficult to swallow
down my gullet
washed down with
gulp after gulp
of sour disappointment
and then you
a little teaspoon
filled with sweetness
offered to help
back to dreams
now I go
once I learned
Cards
Shuffle cut
and deal
study look
and bet
based on
a hunch
or tell
raise hold
or call
oh these
wicked games
we play
just to
win all
