Last Year


Last year
on the first minute
of this day
I lost her.

I miss her as if
the year has not
yet passed.

2016


Golden cloud forms
take an almost
animistic pose.

2015


A crumpled napkin runs from some
horrible fate,
as if it doesn't already
know it's a ghost,
frozen in form, time,
and mind.


Tis the Season!

2014


A nice reminder of spring


in the early days of winter.

the snow-covered mountain
glow golden bright.

Electric sunlight bounds from the morning's motion,
bouncing off the clouds,
illuminating the darkened
man-made light.

Western winter skies produce
great color and form
when conditions are right
for a glorious sunrise.

is like a crack in the fence:
it allows us to peer into worlds
we would otherwise
never see.

Tiny Tree


The tiny tree
keeps its own
company.

2016


The lights of the season
warm our mornings
with purpose.

Sun-rays penetrate a thicket of clouds,
warming the sky,
lightening our day
in a subatomic dance
of color creation.

A Lifetime of Sport


From childhood to manhood, sport allows us to express
the genetic desire to war without serious consequence.

It is our ability to compete during the game
while congratulating each other's efforts after the game
that makes us human.

Strong Sun, Strong Clouds


Feels like a fight.

How many years will pass before
this house is viewed as a lost relic?

How exactly do we decide
what is to be preserved
