FIVE SHORT POEMS


A FEAR OF FLOWERS

Beneath another bright blue sky
So high
Hedges and hills, I turned away from
For all my life, I had feared wild flowers
Plastic is so safe
Yet one day I could not escape
A nearby cherry tree exploded
The speeding petal did not pierce my skin
It was soft



OPEN

Close your eyes
Open your eyes
Open…


IMAGINING

When I was a swift, I made love in the blue sky
When I was a grey seal, I made love in the sea
When I was a human,
I dreamt I was a swift
I imagined I was a grey seal


WHILE SLEEPING

Even while I slept
The earth turned just enough
To bring to me the morning


USING EYES

Watching from the Bus
I see the child in a passing car
Wondering what I think
I am wondering what she thinks
And to my reader,
Greetings
