her strong hands
on the potters’ wheel
creating love
red ochre sienna
from the fires of earth

she weaves
constellations
in indigo
meditation of
warp and weft

Atlas Poetica # 20


cold night
we crash through leaf piles
someone
practicing scales
on a midnight sax


old men stalk
the neon boardwalk
curvy girls
on picture post cards
cotton candy dark


dipped a brush
into the light rainbow
painted stars
all over the street
clouds on every window

Aubade For My Father - Published in Kentucky Review 2014


Aubade For My Father             

you rise in sepia
like sun through empty trees
sycamore ghost

gold words scroll across your aura
I hear them through the camera of your eyes
leather and roses - stained glass and ink

poet who never read poetry
who taught me how to see
the vanishing luminous muse

I echo you back from
borders of namelessness singing
your name in my sleep

when you return
trailing mists of morning
I will know that you are still
a watcher of the dawn
