A warm scarf











Sideways
They float one after another
Flakey and fluffy
Cold and sweet to watch

Their white sticks
To the helpless surface
An erasure for a dying autumn
& a memory of a summer passed

They sing quietly their magic
To wipe the hefty canvas clean
Of life & such trivialities
From the human to the machine

A fresh flare for change
They swoosh like erratic flies
Hungry and eager to bite their way
Across the northern skies

Sideways
They have arrived

Sweet Reunion












In the sun              it floats
Doodling on the museum ticket
A hot cocoa & a medium cappuccino
Hooked on a feeling
Cold dry patches of grassy earth
OOGA-CHAGA Sami departs tonight
Heat in autumn is a blessing
Single drifting is not like couple’s drifting
Urban pace is slower in the park
Shades cover shy eyes
The bare tree stands proud        (on paper as is out there yonder)
We ponder
A white line divides sky
One portion blue the other lighter
The rolling paper prays
A harmony of fume and sun splendid
Hands get busy with ink & lead
As if to no surprise they spread
Images ephemeral waning rhizomes
A black dog            a cyclist       a baby in a carriage                  a veiled mother     
The hill breathes like us
Yellow is only temporary
Free air for everyone
A street lamp                  a skinny tree                   an odd face            a crystal contraption
Tattoos with words jumble
Between the blades of pages

& the friendly silence

masks are hardly

  The breeze from the rushing train Still brushes my long hair Still gives a moment of surrender   Masks are hardly Breathable Y...
