Leaves
(Feb 1, 2016)
Invisible energy
leaves behind
cells that recreate
humor-
pistachio toe prints
chocolate covered.
warm the tongue
taste buds
grow inside
vines to heaven
silver tinged
leaves of life

The i-Clouds
“got the dirt”
on you!
holds it in the haze
flies it past mountains
screens it from hawks.
Then rains it down as mud
that thuds on heads:
splotches eyes
drips off nose
blows its spatter
on what matters.
Birds
sift for seeds
to grow trees
that grow leaves
to scatter into soil
for clouds to suck
to “hold the dirt”
on you.

Up in the Trees
stretch limo
riding high
shotgun seat
in the sky
far away
close to spine
clutching tight
neck so fine
lift to leaves
munch for zest
best to come
graze and rest

Let’s get the little ones shredding!
Tearing up roots, gathering fagots,
Sweeping with branches, leaves and debris.
Beckoning pathways for bikes, ATVs.
Tearing up roots, gathering fagots,
Mitten-ed hands scoop them up swiftly
Break off the icicles crisply.
Sweeping with branches, leaves and debris.
Working construction so all can now see
The free-styling pathway country.
Beckoning pathways for bikes, ATVs.
Temples of trees making way for the speed;
Backyard flow tracks for the bucks and the steeds!
