briefly
close your eyes and
meditate. let thoughts pass.
forgive all. recall the past and
let go.

Flashback Friday?

Released!
A night in jail
never hurt anyone.
Acceptance of unjust law is
bondage.

bondage
to fear crumbles
when danger confronts a
lover. the river of courage
flows strong.

flows strong
blood in my veins,
should the river ever
ebb, my life and my time will end
in death

In death
it serves us well.
The old apple tree, now
a pile of firewood for warmth next
winter.

winter
is when it snows.
summer is when sun shines
monsoon is when it rains. class ends.
go home.

Go home!
Rabbits feast in
my vegetable patch,
three bites of everything while
dogs sleep.

Dogs sleep
under trees on
August days, ignoring
varying hares feasting in my
garden.

(‘Varying hare’ is a common name for snowshoe hares when they are summer brown, as opposed to winter white.)

Three-in-a-row! Do I get some kind of a prize?

“Garden
variety”
heirloom tomatoes grace
my salad bowl tonight. Fresh picked
heaven.

Heaven
above us and
Earth below us when we
traverse horizon's razor edge
and fall.

And fall
sneaks through darkness
undoing summer’s work.
Slow, methodical, one leaf at
a time.

A time
to sow, to reap.
The garden now barren—
spring and fall are merely summer’s
bookends.

Bookends—
Signed and dated,
start and finish neatly
wrapped up with three kids trapped in the
middle.

This is for my eldest daughter, also a middle child, with whom I founded The Middle Child Liberation Front.



Middle
children unite!
Neither the first, nor last—
babyhood cut short by a new
sibling.


(Sorry next person, you could start with siblings, I guess.)

Sorry about hanging up the thread. This isn't good, but it will (hopefully) get things moving again. :cry:

Granddad,
good cheap bourbon,
smooth enough to drink neat,
though, I’d never order it in
a bar.

a bar
so high no one
can cross, say many folks.
forget failures to keep a fake
image.

The truth
is stark in spring.
Winter’s blanket of snow,
pulled back, reveals the tasks you’d left
undone.
