And he still looks up,
through the satin, soil, and leaves.
Looks into my eyes.

Looks into my eyes;
he sees my souls reflection
or just new contacts

That will never do—
Bees hover near skunk cabbage
then quickly move on

Skunk cabbage in Japanese is ‘mizubasho’, which means ‘water plantain.’ To the Japanese, the name is very poetic and evokes wabi-sabi. My poet friends were stunned when they learned the English name.

Then? Move quickly on--
do not linger over subs,
but write the next thing.

Eyes may miss the stars
Because once you pluck them out
How can you aim them?

when they have no soul
there is an empty hollow,
great for potpourri.

When water flows clear
and the blood is washed away,
the earth still grieves us.

The earth still grieves us?
Every place we touch, it aches
like some battered spouse.

Like some battered spouse,
I can't tell your love from hate,
and dream of your grave.

And dream of your grave
as grief craves the infinite
sorrow be buried

Joy takes seed, renews;
though it may last but one night,
let it usher dawn.
