A Wednesday Trio
The perfect poem,
free of blemish or error—
can no one write it?
~~ ~~ ~~
In the parking lot
I hear a little jingle—
pennies tumbling round.
~~ ~~ ~~
The reclining god
will vindicate all sinners—
but his fee is steep.

A Wednesday Trio
All flesh is as grass,
so say the biblical words—
is that all there is?
~~ ~~ ~~
novice with an axe
swinging wildly at the wood
sudden gush of blood
~~ ~~ ~~
Though you sear my soul,
words of harshness, words of spite,
grace will ice your heat.

Three Takes on ‘Raindrops’
This is a country
raindrops will never dampen—
hearts of dust and stone.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Raindrops keep falling
everywhere but on these stones—
the gods are laughing.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Small raindrops tremble—
somewhere far away from stones
mighty oceans roar.

A Wednesday Trio
Lord of the feathers,
do not dampen my pinions
as I cleave the air.
~~ ~~ ~~
You spit in the dirt
to keep my heart from straying,
yet I drift away.
~~ ~~ ~~
Tremble on this ground,
for it is consecrated
by ten thousand tears.

Another Wednesday Trio
Nothing quite makes sense
if you are not generous
with your heart and soul.
~~ ~~ ~~
burnished river stone—
just one more rock in his eyes,
but in hers, a gem
~~ ~~ ~~
She chooses silence
to penalize her lover—
why is he so slow?

You may be certain
that a generous woman
will demand payback.
~~ ~~ ~~
With wilting flowers
there is just one thing to do—
go tell the raven.
~~ ~~ ~~
Penalize, my God,
those who probe in sacred wounds
with no healing art.

Who was dreaming what
when a bloody hand appeared,
leading them astray?
~~ ~~ ~~
Kinky poetry
may or may not titillate
those with restless hearts.
~~ ~~ ~~
From the fruitful day
she plucked a tender morsel,
popped it in her mouth.

How could I forget
my dependence on the words
that give life to me?
~~ ~~ ~~
In a secret place
she kept one stick of incense
for emergencies.
~~ ~~ ~~
The bedclothes rumple
beneath my restless body—
old cockroach hotel.

You are a blossom,
fragrant and voluptuous—
wind coming down hard.
~~ ~~ ~~
While I am writing,
do not jostle my left hand—
seven haiku wait.
~~ ~~ ~~
pinned to her coat sleeve
remnant of a yellow star—
Dachau clings like smoke
