Looking for My Mind
I keep looking for my mind, but looking is hard work.
Some folks watching me, I’m sure, consider me a jerk.
If I could find my rightful mind, maybe I could play,
Be lighthearted once again, and laugh the livelong day.
But finding minds ain’t easy; and mine’s been lost so long,
It would take a miracle to right this bitter wrong.

Shadow Shot Sunday 2: Creepers
Birds, Songs, and Longings
1.
As we near the lake,
geese arc over the water,
honking a greeting.
2.
Settling on her nest
at the water’s edge, a duck
keeps her egg clutch warm.
3.
Rippling mountain stream,
who composed the song you sing?
Surely not the crow!
4.
Drifting and gliding
over the ocean’s surface,
seagulls hunt for fish.
5.
Midwinter longing—
if I had wings like a dove,
I’d fly far away.

The Spiritual Godfather
An homage to Lawrence Ferlinghetti, with phrases found in his New York Times obituary:
At the end of his life,
aglow,
the spiritual godfather
at dawn
starts wailing:
“Fireflies!”
Sharp humor and social consciousness
dissolve
like Galilee,
like smoke.
