Dew From You
That bloody dog!
He barks and howls
on Saturdays,
when I need sleep.
The night was short
and fumes rose
from the crumpled bed,
then fell back down
onto the sheets
as morning dew.
Or was that you?
Wild Turkeys flew
through crazy dreams
their feathers scratched
talons draw blood,
around and around they go
and off each tree
falls gold and silver now,
kind angels make all dew
while I make love to you.

DIC
What a beautiful baby he was,
born with a healthy sucking reflex,
noisy at night, winking Benny Hill-like
during the day, making friends and fans,
sailed through school, flirting always
with long haired teachers, 'twas the eyes,
rose through the ranks of dad's firm,
fat retirement at the conclusion of hard
and occasionally thoughtful years,
only to have it all end prematurely.
Though he never did know the term they used,
disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Dichotomy (by Rachel)
Here is another creation from the pen of
my Protιgιe.
To run, to seek to find
To leave to break, unbind.
When it is lost at last
When all that's gone is past
Then?
To stay to look to be inward
To keep, to heal and tie
So is it found at last
Can all that's past be here?
When?

Die Beschneidung
Ein kleiner Bulle stand im Stalle
und witterte dort eine Falle.
Der Tierarzt wetzte seine Klingen
die Voeglein hoerten auf zu singen.
Geplant war ein gar boeser Streich
schon wurde gar der Bauer bleich.
So schnitt man ihm die kleinen Eier
servierte sie zu einer Feier
als grosses Aphrodisikum.
Und Gott im Himmel? Der blieb stumm.
