Natural Causes

Light scatters…
Arms fall off…
The pitter patter
of tiny feet,,,
I wonder if there’s
food in the refrigerator?


Sound of bird miles away
ocean…still and vast
sky bright and grey.


Inventory:
the vessel is wearing out
mind clear as a bell
involuntary organic
made the right choices
in spite of the fear
I don’t know how I knew
ready to go anytime
all a dream now…impartial
fantastic colorful neutral
unintended coincidental
nothing on the shelves.

Bougainvillea brilliant mauve
Day-Glo through the window
Here, Now, Really? How fun!
give it to everyone, please enjoy…
your pain is yours and mine…my
joy is yours…that’s really the way
it is, why there is love at all.
