Indifference

just an image
standing there
standing there
in deep despair

reflection only
in thy gaze
in thy gaze
just a haze

just an echo
ringing true
ringing true
from me to you

singletary
all alone
just a shadow
far from home

Tornado race

Charcoal drawing 1976

Found in shirtpocket

the river is everywhere,
everywhere at once,
at each part of itself,
that it seems to move
is but an illusion
and knowing not
we think it has
a beginning and and ending. . . .

The Woman of Gregory

Sistah Johnsonia Beach 2010

The rolling swell . . . .

When seas are high 2010

shine

sunshine morning
sunshine afternoon
time enough for sadness
when clouds have masked the moon

shining moments
spots before my eyes
everything in motion
all for last goodbyes

warming sunshine
glowing in the air
music of a color
the color of her hair

sunshine morning
living in the past
i built a wall of dreams
and knew it would not last

evening sunshine
pressed upon my face
no amount of speed
could ever win this race

the river of my mem'ry
in full flood and flow
rushes through my psyche
like cold and driven snow
