In the silvered night
Silent shadows
Keep pace
Beside me.
Bears, wolves,
Coyotes
Melt into
Changling trees,
And full moon
Flowers.
My fear
drifts away
In the silky
darkness.
I follow,
whimpering,
Searching
For the familiar.
Blackness
Covers me
In flowing waves
Of remembered
Grief, warm
And sweet as
A lovers vows,
Withheld.

Hunger
.
.
A song never sung
Was silenced by an owl’s
Whispered hunting flight.

Warming
.
.
Deceptively soft,
Warming breezes contrast with
Winter’s shadowed cold.

Dark Dance
.
Straddling fault lines,
We dance above the abyss.
There is no safety.

Children’s Legacy

Shall we all
One day be
Chernobyl Wolves
Running wild
Free
In a verdant
Wasteland of
Mutated glory

Do You Remember?
.
.
Winter rain falling,
Heavy, on the metal roof,
Brings back memories.

Escape
.
.
This roof compresses my pain
Too tight knotted freedom binds
The sitting ghost composes wishes
Shuts the door heavy everywhere
The anguish I cannot contain
Swims in a liquid sky
Escaping through windows
The burning meteor glass
Shatters in rising suns
What sorrow has come again
Having never dispersed
The war twists dancing
On one leg stork stepping
Is joy an illusion of the insane
