What she got
Was what could
Not be bought

It Happens
Rain falls
Wind blows
Mind wanders
I suppose
Light fades
Time flows
Can’t remember
So it goes
Tomorrow
Never knows...

Sweden’s Curse
How much do I hate shopping,
Let me count the ways,
Foot tired and trapped
In the IKEA maze...

Ungiven Gift
Waiting on the holy thing we’ve
Worshiped from years ago,
Nothing has been sent, but
When it comes we will know...

Calendar Magic?
Way back when, some genius thought
To give each day a name,
Labeling the revolutions which
Seemed too much the same,
Too anonymous, ephemeral,
And so in those times of old,
The names were assigned to
Harness what can't be controlled...

Fleeting Glory
Game-ending minutes
Feeling excited and tense
But it will all evaporate
A few hours hence

Veterans Hospital
Old, fat, in peace,
He thinks back on the war
Knows that things haven’t changed,
Wonders what it was for,
All that desperate bloody
Effort holds no meaning anymore...

Driving In Low Gear
The under-appreciated joy of
Being deliberately lazy,
Gliding through a slow day’s
Minutes, unfocused and hazy,
No need for drugs,
It’s just a natural high
Being able to love
Each moment which goes by...

Somewhere North Of Damascus
Refugee center destroyed during
Government forces advance
Lost souls whisper “We had no
Choice, we never had a chance”
Ghosts in the rubble where the
Toxic war flames dance...

Agincourt
Unhorsed, shot with arrows,
I lie in the mud and bleed,
Curse the English, and watch
The crows descend to feed...
Glittering knights, the glory
Of France, lie broken in piles,
Mud-metal, gore, and noble names
On the list the Reaper files...

In The Shadows
Wait until the dark
Arrives where light has been
That’s when the special
Things can begin...

Nature’s Call
Spring wind today
And out on the bay
Visitors from the North
Tern and Loon
Will be leaving soon...

Prometheus
Here I sit, chained to the granite,
Yeah, it's me, the fire-giver,
Waiting for a day's eagle
To fly down and eat my liver,
The inevitable pain, repeated
Every bloody afternoon,
On a god's orders, and I
Bear it all until I swoon
Into a dream, where men
Of Earth sooth and embrace,
Warm me with the gentle
Heat of their fireplace...

Into a dream, where men

Warm me with the gentle
Heat of their fireplace...
Above The Seaside Picnic Ground
Mistaking it for meat,
Seahawk goes free-fall,
Dive-bombing on
A bouncing tennis ball,
Then swoops back up,
Disappointment, fright,
Almost colliding
With a kite...
