“That’s the trouble with you and me,
we always hit the bottom ‘fore we get set free
- I’m so far down, I’m beginning to breathe.”

Like a Parasite
if you bleed me dry,
it’s just that you never learned
to fend for yourself.

lonely evergreen
though I pine for her,
I know she’s an evergreen,

I’m not what you think;
I’m smart and stupid in ways

chirping crickets blend
with the honeysuckle breeze;

spring irony


the leaning maple
appears to be faltering
even as it blooms.

Thanks to Shelley for kindly offering to exchange seed words. She sent “leaning” my way, and I burdened her with “rejuvenation” (and she made pretty good use of it). Oops, I actually burdened her with “regeneration” - she still did well with it.

little did he know
wanting what could not be had
