XIII
natural bouquet
a bride remains unaware
in the light she knows


XIV
question even you
here is where the music starts
all light and all dark



XV
Susurrus defined
unpredictable fancy
just above my head

what the light brings

is danger explosive
mildly reclusive
humor intrusive

witness pervasive

darkness refusing
smartness soon losing
freedom gone grooving
excuses for grooming


what the light brings

is outline of small things
like links to a bird wing
the slide of a snail’s singing
a drunken poets refrain


what the light brings

is parent and none
child and the gone
husband and the won
preserved and the forlorn


how can I be happy and sad
at the same time

like the light and the dark
in the same room


how can I drink the wine
that means body and blood
that lifts to the moon


what the light brings

is forgiveness to forget
stumble with promise
you have not yet met
smirk without guilt
light knows no regret

HAIKU


XII

mad meds in the night
vision comes slowly to light
on a limb we own


HAIKU



XI
push wisdom out of
a damp cave of moldy voice
remake what comes next
