Gypsy Heart
Place to place, always
Looking, city country farm
Or field, some small patch of
Ground to call home for a
Time, people passing in and out
Faces of a dream, disappearing
The sigh and moan of found and lost
Taking and giving bits and pieces of
Themselves, each memory a
Locket, worn close to the breast
Belonging nowhere and everywhere
A new road always beckoning
The future always unknown, always
Re-creating itself.
(Previously published in Autumn Leaves, May 2003)

Gyroscope
To get to the truth
You must transcend words
You must transcend
Consciousness itself
Allow what is underneath
That great unknowable Hidden
To take what voice it will
And make the world
Spin on the fulcrum of its axis
The riddle burning in the center of
Its hot, molten
Core.
(Previously published in A Little Poetry, Summer Fall 2007 issue)

Haiku
This is a haiku
Syllables -drop- like the dew
Rhyme is nice for you?

Haiku Sepuku
Look hair fall out head
big feet trip down stairs and wham!
old butt feel so bad
