Lost & Unclaimed

Standing in

baggage-claim,

watching belongings

go round again

waiting for something

that will never come,

an army of strangers

grab their bags and run

leaving me distant

adrift and alone,

as the carousel stops

—my location unknown

War Party

Dancing out from the shadows,

our spirits release

 

The night from the day,

fresh paint on our cheeks

 

New fires in the darkness,

where drums beat once more

 

As voices call inward

—their whispering roar

The Running Stream

Prose gets more from poetry,

than poetry from prose

 

Verse a wellspring where phrases  drink

—whose waters flow and flow

Disarming The Past

With cannons of emotion,

heartache was sunk

 

The future retargeted

—joy on the rise

Debt Service

What makes you think

you can mortgage a heartache

 

What makes you think

your payment’s unique

 

What makes you think

your indebtedness special

 

What makes you think

—you can leverage the pain

The Holy Road

Your voice like smoke,

 it calls from the distance

 

Luring your enemy into

 winds of deceit

 

The clouds of your fathers,

hiding hailstones above

 

Disguising the truth

—as you lie in wait

 

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1990)

Christening Time

Shadows of tomorrow,

reflections of yesterday

 

Images of the moment

—in whose Trinity we pray

Searching For Crazy Horse

Remembering to forget,

the road opened in front of me

 

Remembering to forget,

the past drifted away

 

Remembering to forget,

my today my tomorrow

 

Remembering to forget

—my tomorrow today

The Beckoning Wind

The road is your only

companion

When the memories won’t kill you

—but the lingering will

Into The Breach…

Letting go not holding on,

the closing act of life

 

To make the crossing burden free,

past vestiges of strife

 

Letting go not holding on,

from years that pile high

 

The greatest weight the last to leave

that final one—goodbye
