After a lifetime
of avoiding things
the simplest things
that makes one
independent and interesting
I have learned
that there’s pleasure
in simply doing
And now not
only do I
do for myself
but I also
want to do
for you and
again it’s the
simple do doing
that makes me
do for you

LandFall
There’s a thing
that often happens
well I think
that it does
well it has
to me now
once you’ve crawled
back or away
from whatever bottom
that you have
you first survive
and you regain
the simple things
strength and courage
once you’ve leapt
from the iceberg
and onto land
feet under you
what comes next
is quite surprising
it’s called comfort
and followed by
freedom to express
those simple things
that you know
make you you
DonkeyWash
And every week
at this point
I’m taken back
to a time
when I lived
on a farm
and every morning
a donkey ran
up to me
from the hill
honking and honking
making the same
sound as my
washing machine now
a simpler time
Kindness (to unknown)
And from afar
I read something
making me think
try kindness first
it’s hard I
know especially now
but kindness does
what winds do
they sweep away
the clouds from
the moon leaving
it to shine
brighter than before
Abstract
I think that this
morning the sky is
filled with ghosts they
stretch end to end
across the horizon ghoulish
they appear as though
purgatory took a brush
and some paint and
slapped some souls on
as though Heaven and
Hell requested an abstract
