From my face to Annika’s
2015
Quatern
Make the complex simple
awesomely simple;
that’s creativity!
translucent diadems.
Charles Mingus
Thoughts too weak:
make the complex simple;
empty them, start again:
they’re beyond cognition.
Luc de Claplers
Try for plainness
selflessness:
make the complex simple
polished core revealed.
Lao-Tsu
Birdsong, sky and weather:
luminous and spare;
look through them to see the world;
make the complex simple!
Stanley Kunitz

Emily frolics in the mud
4-2015

thuds on the wheels; buds, blood, crud
sweet essence of Spring!

random wisps of memory
Ten Wild Horses Grazing in Corral:
One flew to Venice
for a gondola ride.
Nine wild horses grazing in corral:
One trotted off
to the Merry-go-round.
Eight wild horses grazing in corral:
One tightened belt for
a roller coaster ride.
Seven wild horses grazing in corral:
One sipped lemonade
mixed with tea.
Six wild horses grazing in corral:
One did spinning jumps –
roller skating tricks.
Five wild horses grazing in corral:
One hopped a bus
to watch Big Sur.
Four wild horses grazing in corral:
One went in Convent
to sing A CAPPELLA chant.
Three wild horses grazing in corral:
One found a boxer dog
to take for walks.
Two wild horses grazing in corral:
One became grandma
to humans and cats.
One wild horse grazing in corral:
calligraphed it all
in a count-down poem.

This is the time
For you to compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Awake! the sun is
calling! adventure’s friendship

In the rain
on the coast
Maine in April, 2015
I give thanks I can
choose to be in Maine Friday
and home Saturday.
I give thanks I can
breathe at 40 or 75 degrees
as I travel home.

Asperger’s melts into the warmth of April
Frozen edges droop
Puddles leach to lubricate:
A Don squeeze in Spring!
