Endings are endings
final
finite
but only in this world
this realm
there are others we can visit
as we leave this one
of this I am sure
because I believe
in the unbelievable
and cast aside all fear
to pursue
the incomparable
adventure.

Crows call from the woods
inside their church of forest,
pine tree sacristy.

Rain taps the flashing
upon the back porch window
subtle spring music.

The scent of fresh turned soil
decomposing leaves
markers of spring
points the clouds
to warmer days
lying on your back
on some sun warmed hillside
without a care in the world.

Cold spring wind reminds
you should have worn a hat
it blows winters’ detritus
from the new blooms
that have mustered the courage
to rise up.

Half Life
These parched wastes dry slowly
this wasteland’s orange sky
births fallout
its ash dusts the sands
with poison snow
that feed lakes of mercury
thirsty
for the isotope laden rain
scratch me a symbol
upon a cinder block
that makes up this
broken, leaning half-wall
this half-life
we half-struggle through
rust caked, shambling
dreaming monochromatic dreams.

Frogs call from the swamp,
a hawk soars high in the sky,
crocus break the soil.
