LONESOME CHICKEN SONG (3-26-1988; Trinidad, Humboldt County, Northern California)
all my friends
be outside
cluckin in the yard
life up north here
in all the wet cold and fog
dense redwood forests
filled with head high ferns
and fallen moss covered logs
really ain t so hard
to live amidst and bear
it just gets kinda lonesome at times
especially after six long
cold months
of livin so isolated
way up north here
all on my own alone
except that is
for all my only other
fine feathered friends up here
i get to visit and see twice a day
who all be outside right...

Proof of Life
In the westward sky is a crow's clear caw.
A visceral proof of life.
That there joyously exists more than just our strife.
It soared mystically deep into the baby blue
and fluffy white blissful unknown.
In the north sky
gathers a small murder of crows,
with their chaotic excitable moan.
A folktale goes that the crows congregate
to hover and decide another crow's fate.
Place a scavenger of death in a vast cheerful sky.
You realize a great many days are void of a why
They are just proof of life.
So feel alive!

Imaginary Soup
The rooster crows!
The rooster scares
the hours of the day!
In the portals of the night
the late afternoon.
In the morning arches
the beginning of the day.
The rooster sees the breeder...
In his cackle is the warning
for all poultry
and for all the farm animals
of those human hands
looking for something to eat.
The rooster attacks his operatic aria
with emphasis on sunlight
which shows the murderous hands.
Those hands full of fingers
breaking necks and plucking feathers.
Those hands...

confetti
save the glittering flowers
as the sun gathers to play
in confetti colored fields.
scented petals jump upward,
trying to catch the low
swimming butterflies.
whirlwinds gather,
mocking the jealous grass
while they dart through
their expectations.
the bright and happy birds
serenade all willing to listen,
they all pack their bags
and go to their next destination.

Part of a Nutritious Breakfast
I know a bird who is also a man
his name is Toucan Son of Sam
Multicolored beak for a nose
sniffs out victims that he knows
Vitamins & minerals fortified
artificial sweeteners I’m mortified
Beware if he flies to your house
Fruit Loops not seen, he’ll begin to shout
Obeying him may keep you alive
A Cereal Killer, there’s no place to hide

Wol Fla Tan
Wolverines scream at the door of the night,
flamingos fly in flocks across the sky
and tangerines scattered across the floor.
Wolverines, flamingos and tangerines
as distinct elements of nature.
The wolverines that scream in the night
They hunt prey with strength and cunning.
Defending territories with ferocity.
Elegant birds migrate around the world
and fly in synchronized formations.
Landing in lagoons with their delicacy.
The ripe fruits that decorate the streets,
offer flavor with sweetness and freshness. ...

Winter's Secrets
" Those who don't believe in magic, will never find it" -
Roald Dahl
A magical glimpse at winter's secrets.
Behold the mysterious footprints
upon the frozen powder's bed.
It's the words we don't say
that amplify the ached silence in my head.
The soft tracks lure imagination
with their ghostly glow.
At the scene earlier, a blood red cardinal
perched in the stark white snow.
Another peaceful moment of heart glow.
Winter's startling secrets grant joy
May the return to reality be forever slow.

early singing
even well
before
the sleep
has left
my morning
eyes,
i have
heard
early singing
coming from
the trees
within
the confines
of
my yard,
happy little
tunes
that help
wake up
the sun,
after it
unhinges,
it rises
in such
a bright
fashion.

Invitation to Dream
The January sky
held a long awaited
invitation to dream.
My mental steam
had finally reached
the atmosphere.
Behold,
a startling,
choir of squawk
was released
Extraordinary,
was the wedge of geese.
Impressive
in their shifting
chevron flight.
A few rebels
fly off
to seek the naked night.
