EARTH-POTTED

 












EARTH-POTTED


Japanese Black Pine

Yamadori Juniper

Cultural pillars


Yesterday’s green tea

Candles for El Salvador

Double milk macha


I scared myself and said, Ouch.

Aloof grace of tree trunk girth.

And on the third day

And on the third day

The tacos are at their best

See a wild beast tamed

HOW IT WORKS. HOW IT IS. HOW. HOW. HOW. HOW.

 












HOW IT WORKS. HOW IT IS. HOW, HOW, HOW HOW:


Sometimes they trade place

Poetry and scripture change

Poetry may lead


Scripture can break trail

The two confuse the many

Followers go mad


Vanilla sweet cream cold brew

Showcase Mother's Day garden

SCAB FORMS ON MY LIP

Scab forms on my lip

BIRD SONG, TOO!

 

BIRD SONG, TOO!


Petals snow-storm porch

Cherry blossoms’ blown pollen

breeze-swept in my nose

SHE IS.

 

SHE IS.


Karen’s on the front porch

Cherry blossoms in her hair

She’s San Francisco

QUICK, THE NOTEBOOK!

QUICK, THE NOTEBOOK!

Barely whispered notes

Look, it’s after 4 am

Just by saying it
