Chores become what
when joy’s involved
meditation and expression
or maybe an
exercise in futility
given that dirt
and dust returns
it’s so like
many other things
Category: Love
Low
Low west sun
does the same
to dusk sky
as the lamp
in the corner
does to your
eyes making blue
deeper than ocean
blue and blue
darker than plum
almost a purple
plump with passion
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
