….with applause and cheers. I earned my breath …
Don't Prolong
I know why
so alone
with the dark
shadows stare.
Acceptance
did not come.
Meaning lost
fall away.
To forget,
to remember.
Nothingness
is always there.
I know why
so alone,
cannot speak,
there should be sound.

Elusive or Blind
It is helpful to say
there is hope.
You see it
with those you want to meet.
You see it
by the stories you tell.
You probably have hope
by offspring.
Problem is I don’t know
when to look
branding me
vaguely free.
One morning in South Luangwa NP
Strength
Uncontrolled
torrent on salt
damned by a plan
When I was strong,
once,
a rhythm of laughter.
Strength
was a mere shadow
fractured by one breath.

Out it Alone
It came slowly
yet you are shocked?
no question asked
quiet with time.
Silliness has no Bounds
Ostrich on pan in Estosha, Namibia
Are you a clever one
with just the right response?
You probably didn’t blurt out
“It’s just like ostrich sauce,”
Or tell your neighbor
“Have a gooey gooey day”
not one for sharp retorts
my native silliness
abounds.
test ride
sunset to stars
Yes, I alone directed the sky that night
galaxies above so bright
a humble camp bathed in magic and moonlight.
Venus winked through the stillness
she then turned her course for that far horizon
in the cold morning hour.
