The Parable Teller

The fixed and static

mostly those nouns

bear our watching..

these are snapshots

fixities in flow

making their claim

as the whole show..!

we should consult

a parable teller

to shift the lights

reveal a new show..

and we need be

especially alert

for those wishing

the teller to go...

Math lesson

Math lesson

for all of us

non-mathematicians

this for our grasp..

there are structures

which are discovered

not invented..

those notations

1 + 1 = 2

these are inventions..

behind these garments

math reality lies

which includes all

especially you..!

the math guy says

Reality = Relationship

all around
up and down...

Gratitude

encloses all with

softened light:

exercise repetitions

as health advisory..

 decisions on paths
taken and not..

 regrets missed connections

weather limitations..
no shorthand LOLs
a throwback letter
to an earlier time
with instant delivery
this best of both
old and new..

an ending with

affection..
an email of note...!

Surprise

Surprise

Encountering

surprises on 

a Friday walk..

one hanging dead

leaf from autumn

suspended through

winter winds

never to fall..

large boulders 

aligned to suggest

an ancient flow..

dead rabbit remains

a coyote brought

this violent end..

walking surprises

seem endless..

those differences

carry life forces

of creation..

we then ask

what background

do these forces

expect to rely..?

consider a white

blank page as 

the poet surveys

Knowing that all

is surprise...!

Advocate

Advocate

speaking of

she who now

glides on

the other side..

her Knowing 

perceiving now

this our dimension..

beginnings and ends

great and small

joys and interruptions

those difficult hours..

might we sense

in altered moments

a shaded tunnel

her pulling Light...

May snow

May snow

not may

it really happened..

May day snow

Spring was dressed

in fine Winter garb..

icicles clinging

now it's day two

snow's hasty exit

icicles are drops

birds now resume

nesting arguments.. 

many schedules 

interrupted...!

Syrophoenician Woman

Start 1

with bright light

imagining

unconfined

no inner or outer

a wish arises

for something other

any crumb will do..

with the finding

of that crumb

a jolt startles

from a slumber..

Start 2

with lowly crumb

imagining

containment

inner no outer

a wish arises

for boundary erasure

a merging with

bright light..

with the finding

a jolt startles

from a slumber..
