Aliens do live
amongst being anyone
who sees differently
than those feeble
fools who constantly
try to shove
what little they
know into boxes
I’m so tired
trying to inflate
the wheezing balloons
of man’s minds
out of breath
I’m just going
to sit now
and watch with
melancholy the very
thing that I
thought might fly
wrinkle and die

Clutter
Clutter comes
when invited
and asked
to stay
why should
unneeded things
occupy space
is space
something to
be filled
or is
it a
place where
breath belongs
Aware
Be aware
be alive
don’t trudge
through life
looking for
stop smell
and see
make note
and relish
be one
with whatever
and wherever
you are
out of
your head
and into
your life
Windows
My windows remind
me of myself
clear but creaky
when the wind
blows just right
eyeglasses to outside
spyglasses to the
people moving about
too much light
on certain days
just the right
amount of moonlight
Relief
A spring starts
finally to unwind
from the depths
of my minds
aquifer through cracks
of quiet clarity
it reaches higher
until at last
it breaks ground
and bubbling up
it trickles down
pooling in peace’s
very own pond
with a sigh
of cleansing relief
