Drift in the ghost realm
Wash in shades of pink and blue
Rest in soothing sound
Ghost Realm (a haiku)
poem
Each Time we Sleep (a poem)
The lights flickered once, and we knew
what was to come, walking in the
crumbling building,
collapsing like a sandcastle
on top of us, buried underneath now
gasping for air, losing our sense
of reality, a dream-land of
new colors and shapes,
smothered and can’t escape,
‘till the ominous face appeared,
like the Wizard of Oz
the face covered with sores

Catch the Stars (a haiku)
Catch all of the stars
Keep them shut in mason jars
Cool drink of deep space

Strange Planet (a poem)
Why do you fear death when
you’ve died so many times before?
It was new once and it scared you,
an awful boom and tingling sensation
up your spine, lights dimmed,
an explosion of impossible colors
tasting like metal and smelling of wood,
leaving you breathless

Orange & Red (a haiku)
House-Warming Party (a poem)
Floods of memories slap me
as I walk the neighborhood,
epiphanies connect obscure
stars in my mind’s galaxy –
birds chirp, my feet patter on paths
amid tree-lined streets and greenery
of springtime,
the earth changing, imperceptibly,
preparing to host summer
like a house-warming party –

Floating, Weightless (a poem)
Screaming stopped, here in
black voids of deep space
floating, weightless, atoms being
torn apart –
they can’t hear me now, mission control,
cracked open without a trace
dying, shapeless, our bodies drifting
far apart –
Mission is complete,
alien intelligence secured –
artifacts like Rubik cubes,
touch them & they blow apart,
floating, weightless
consciousness survives –
we are stardust among red stars,
dark voids so spacious
becoming one with dark matter
of shapelessness –
floating, weightless
drifting far apart.

Alt-Psalm #4 (a poem)
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
so why do we insist on depleting it?
treating it, beating it like a dirty dog –
Adam named everything he saw,
the beasts & critters that crawl,
the plants & trees so tall,
and since those days in Eden,
we’ve furiously assaulted the planet –

The Fairy Woman (a tanka)
Lost in the deep woods
Night began to fall quickly
Shivering in cold
Until the fairy woman
Brought me back home, safe and sound
