Knowing Another

a field of tall grass
sways one way in the wind
when the right question
yields an answer, listener
fails to judge and says nothing

Reason

open the mind’s wrist
name the dreams worth living for
beyond greed, grief, guns

Pain

wit feints and jabs
throws laughter out the window
a crippling blow

— t. l. cummings

Promise

out of a stone tomb
step the solemn bones of dreams
wise harvest of man

if you are the world
will faith in reality
maintain a balance

Quandry

awaiting patience
mud settles and water clears
answer arises

Embarrassed

shadow beats the wall
demands a gateway open
before light claims it

Remorse

letter litters floor
an unopened memory
action unaddressed

Art

flowers sing their scent
an original springtime
signed by winter’s hand
