Crow

Don't get me wrong,
I like a song bird outside my window
in the morning however
it is the crow that speaks to me
with something to say.

Sampson looking between the banisters of the back porch.

Alveoli

Breathing
where
conscious and unconscious
meet.

Holy shit

On the night of April 14th, 2013
I held a device in my hand
that directed my eyes up into the
night sky to watch a space station
pass overhead.

A journey

'97 VW camper took me
back 30 years, welcomed into
a home filled with love, humor
and good soup.

Visitor at work.

A moment.

Her hand rubbed the folds of my jeans between thumb and forefinger,
brushed lightly two or three times over the picture
of onion scapes on my shirt
ran her fingers through my beard
and after a pause looked me in the eye
and smiled.

Number

The number 8 is no more to
the number 8 as a stick
figure is to a woman or a man.
