Knolls

As the sun dips red

a jellyfish sticks to sand

transparent death knoll

Release

  

Sometimes our broken

wings fold in prayer

deep inside somewhere

refusing to fly

even though

they healed long ago

 

they ache

until our soul

yawns

and releases

them into flight

over and

over and

over.......

Great Egret

On one of my many walks at a dike, I happened upon a Great Egret who was wading in the shallow water and stabbing the water for food.  I watched it for a long time, its neck elongating, it's hunger, its hunting prowess.

Great Egret



I will stab my prey

My white plumes will deceive you

Then I will swallow

Drift

Ba.Atoll Goidhoo 2010 Maldives

 

Memories shimmer like heat waves

from the perspective

the angle

the position

of the witness

 

A heart view

a mind view

a spirit view

a view of unmanifested desires

 

It was this way

No that way

That never happened

You made that up

 

Let it go

let it drift

into the waste of the desert

let it blow like sand

undulating and curving

 

But remember

the wind, the heat

Save the inward smile

and kiss the air....

It Comes Down

 

Like rain drops

from the sky

we sometimes hit

the pavement....hard

and disappear

 

Sometimes

a witness observes

but soon forgets

or is mesmerized

and drops

a poem...

Water Horse

Glass tipped sea foam waves

Centuries of galloping

Snorting, spraying me

Quit

dustandwanderlust.wordpress.com

Sometimes friends leave

while still here

their shadows flicker

A distinct undoing

of the seam

things fall out

or they don't

The intimacy

once focused and

zoomed in

blurs

Covers are pulled

over memories

that vanish to

another time

A page turns

the book given away

thrown away

or placed on a shelf

We dissipate

 Faceless prayer flags

lost in space

Finally
recognizing

You never did like
my poetry...
