4 Poems


PANCAKES

batter drips from the bowl
one, two, hundred drops
spread across this counter,
grill heating up
morning air and a vision
unexpected

grandma bending over her stove
melting butter and sugar
her homemade syrup poured over
pancakes

today i'm a conduit of worlds
dressed in todays, yesterdays
eating pancakes with ghosts
saying nothing…



 POEM

she was my statue
made of black marble
without form
without sight
never broken
simply cursed
and left haunted


POEM

when I sit
counting clouds
and minutes
a passing girl
freezes me in silence


POEM

song
in minor key
orchestrates winds
with softening taps and splashes
rain and cymbals and windows
ocean movements
along winding paths
filled by wit, tears
