Picture
Busted and rusted
together side by side, home
when the milk runs dry.
​-mcg

 

Graphite clouds gather
feel the boneless rain falling,
the air upside down.
-mcg
Popping of birdsong
and the daffodils for free,
Spring hopes eternal.
-mcg

 

Knowing I know not
is knowing about knowing
not knowing, I Know.
-mcg
Anticipation
odd years seem mostly, the best
and so it begins.
-mcg
Awoken aware
what was constant, is not there
absence of longing.
​-mcg
Tripping on the miles
into the future thru the past
Sunlight and bridges.
​-mcg

 

Dew, a blade of grass
cautious deer caught in headlights
Breath of our Nation.
​-mcg
Four robins worming
a sudden snow now made mud
each, a new surprise.
​-mcg
Scrape earth with a boot
for the old ceremony
encircled within.
- mcg
Fanciful gourmand
she dusts her mountain cake tops
with powdered sugar.
​-mcg

  

A bottomless bench
beyond suffering or grief
the harvest for all.
- mcg
American Seed
sown free to be, you and me
sea to shining sea.
-mcg
Finally fallen
among the litter of decay,
Beauty enduring.
-mcg
So knowing no more
but not much less than before,
tear an emptied page.
-mcg

 

On a tightrope taut
mid confidence and challenge
metamorphosis.
-mcg
Paper will beat rock
and all the games children play
wind can't sweep away.
-mcg
A flock of pappus
short flight, but no escaping
Winter approaches.
-mcg
Flitted, my season
lone leaves arrange in mashed stack
choking the gutters.
-mcg

 

Some old rabbit hole
she sends flowers till I smile,
and apple blossom...
-mcg
As easy as pie
brush the crumbs off the table
for another time.
-mcg
In a long-held glance
and twenty years passed, I knew
trees I'd missed most.
-mcg
Miles go by again
moving forward with my mind
it's always something.
-mcg

 

Some constant longing
strains the dog pulls at his chain
barking in the cold.
-mcg
Vandal on vandal
the traditional scandal
every poet a thief.
-mcg
Tripping and bouncing
the crossing is comical
on a rubber bridge.
-mcg
Above my window
giant white night-bright rock-face beams reflected sunlight.
-mcg

 

Primordial fire
embers are as grounded stars,
binocular moon.
-mcg
This foreign being
staring firmly at me, I
turn from the mirror.
-mcg
Topless hollow nest
inside out is renewal
a place in non-space.
-mcg
Here, everywhere
thought is much bigger than thing
trendy collision.
-mcg

 

Interminable
frozen in another's fear
thunderstorms do pass.
-mcg
A dandy Lion
beside a Dandelion
for entwined, content.
-mcg
Thin, curling within
lightly coax, I beckon
unfurling again.
-mcg
Somewhere her speaking
begins, another milestone
absent but the love.
-mcg

 

Glimmering funhouse
sfumato, the horizon
mirror mirror, I.
-mcg
Outside my window
everywhere, Readymade trees
Duchamp is laughing.
-mcg
I.
The heart in my heart,
risk management cannot give
the courage to love.

II.
Push gently the door
Give it all, fervent vigor
Fear myself no more.
-mcg

 

The face reflecting
shimmers, the surface of things 
dew drop, and it's gone.
-mcg
Aphonic and brown
pregnant, sweet amber promise
the sap is running.
-mcg
Assigned, our love
into how many pieces
gossamer breath day.
-mcg
And heavens White rose
sings soft to me a new song
dreaming of the Show.
-mcg

 

Her Being, my eyes
glancing back unwittingly
nuzzle of the Sea.
-mcg
Rushing to tumble
splashed liquid laughing inside
two, cornflower blue.
-mcg
Quiet before birds,
covered under my bare feet
the floor seems solid.
-mcg
Longing time
Primary colors
heart palette.
-mcg

 

Art is not Nature,
Craft is not Art, appearance
being only part.
-mcg

Bared skin prickling
chill breath seen in heavy air
underfoot, the crunch.
-mcg

Coffee one and two
feet on the floor, seize the day
closest to the bank.
-mcg
Fat droplets hit glass
a lonely scattered thudding
just like the old time.
-mcg

 

Feet gliding on path
golden slice of sun on lake,
my empty-hole hand.
-mcg
Perpetual gape,
hidden moon grey afternoon
guided by the light.
-mcg
Pulling on a face
expansion as contraction
puppeteer, the Sun.
-mcg
Time was full, flowing
memory be with my soul
sustain me now.
-mcg

 

Stand in space or time
pack unpacking memory
home dissolves again.
-mcg
The core of my heart
is linear and feeling
when floating, homeless.
-mcg
Cannot place the fit
below the breastbone a bit
just is the feeling.
-mcg

Floating in between
the drive-by conversations,
I think of the moon.
-mcg

 

My sun dances on
my pond, ripples with twinkles
starlight on water.
-mcg

No mark on my chest,
still I wonder at what 
became of my breath.  
-mcg

And now when older
does the white moon remember
when once it was young?
-mcg

Ratcheting upward
singular metal clicks, click... slip,
lonely worn out fall.
-mcg

 

Tick-tock will not stop
fragmented vision appears,
Memory of hope.
-mcg
Float adrift,
a stream in the middle of empty
between real and dream. 
-mcg

Open up my mouth
no sound comes out,
lost in a pit in my stomach. 
-mcg

Layers of essence,
where gravity has no hold
Lilith never smiles.   
-mcg

 

An idea getting lost
in the simplest shuffle,
scattering cards.
-mcg

Crispness in the air
hint of coming abandon,
January waits.
-mcg

Moon slinking homeward
no silent glance but onward,
morning leaking in.
-mcg

Smiling joyfully,
always is she when she comes,
into my dreaming.
-mcg

 

Slitted light leaking
under a door, showing the
lock is worth picking.
-mcg

Teeter and totter
care not but they ought to,
equilibrium.
-mcg

Angry at the moon,
fickle tease and taunting balloon
pin prick and away.
-mcg

Sitting here feeling
that I need a vacation
away from myself.
-mcg

 

Rising curving flesh,
bud against our backlit room
sacred Arabesque.
-mcg

Absolute Idealism
Neo-Hegelianism
Hegel is laughing.
-mcg

Once thinking I knew
and now knowing never had
until you, pure joy.
-mcg

Keep it to myself,
Too much wanted for nothing
Keep it to myself. 
-mcg
