Ice cracked bones Heart made of stone The statue sits upon its throne All alone birds tend Her loneliness

In the distance Dogs bark In an instance As trees weave in the breeze Casting long creeping shadows

Upon the mountaintop In my efforts —to reach the heavens —To touch the skies God listens

Sound bites the dust Dreamy starshine Sunshine burst births lovely green…

Quarters The Tik Tok of your grandmother’s… The quiet silence of the living’s… On a sunny morning The rooster never crows too soon

Wake me up at half past eleven When I want to feel your love aga… Tell me That were more than just friends Say that you love me

The moon glows Upon my mind Alone is the pain of yesterday —I let her go The twilights glow

Sunshine Fluffy white clouds rain Rainbows Doves within

Oil leaks and elbow grease Men at work Tuesdays through the week Thursday eve comes Birthing of Fridays oblique

Growing tired As the sun dips into the sea Growing tired Autumn leaves Falling from the trees

Jumped through the hulahoop The hole in zero The whole of the hole whole Now Hair and bones

Quiet silhouettes Silencing an aching mind Between eyes not yet blind Within window quarters Along sides

Cobwebs in my mind Sand in my eyes Outside the birds chirp Their delightful surprise Gentle breezes
