Exchanging Dreams: Shadorma PoemEXCHANGING DREAMS
two old men
with retirement’s eyes
exchange dreams
on a bench,
growing tendrils of old age…
as night becomes dim
they recline
like curled sleeves wrinkling,
memories
recycled
on phonograph's needling tunes
crossing young regions

Here are cards
Fifty-two in all.
Want to win?

Spurned LoveShe awoke
to a blazing sun,
brightest orb,
day’s lover.
The moon, jealous of her love,
cried for the night’s loss.
She, sleeping,
missed the soft caress,
silken touch,
palest rays
that beckoned her to...

AvalancheAvalanche…
It only
Takes one candle’s flame
To drive out
The darkness -
In an avalanche of light
To crush the shadows
It only
Takes one snowflake’s song
To start an
Avalanche
Of mercy flowing...

A prolific limb's product
Hangs by an aged thread ...

Tombstone TalesThrough graveyard
meandering, just
me and Dad
stories sad
abbreviated down to
mostly names and dates
So we tell
their stories by turns
like poor Duane
Dinwiddie
died at age thirty-three of
bee sting allergy
So tragic

An Unlikely RomanceUnlikely
this romance between
Miss Cricket
and stodgy
Buddy Biddle, so stagnant
set in his ways, stuck
While Cricket
eighty-nine years young
dances rings
around him
full of impish energy
mischievous antics
He proposed
but Miss Cricket won't
marry...

Dry SpellWithering
shriveling all up
inside, I
cannot tell
how long I'll remain in this
hell of a dry spell
No rainfall

and sometimes
they go dry
too numb to cry, too...

Carnival For the Lost SoulPiqued my soul
Carnival playing
Visiting

Playing card
Proving other death
Falling down
Seeing more
Taken it all for granted
Hurting heart

They Run SoundlyA Shadorma
My soul has
earth roots tunneling
down into
earth’s belly,
swirling, curling round about,
among creatures there.
My heart rides
their elevator
going down;
deep into
mother’s sheltering, calm womb
and drinks eagerly.
I have swum
