Breathing

Standard

*

it’s the stall that

makes me nervous

the space between

branches that

.

makes me breath

.

the silent wake up

calls before the

birds sing that

has me pray

.

The Birds Trills

Standard

*

just before
I breathed in I was
breathing out

I run to this
place to be with you
you seem aloof

to life or to give
anything out afraid
even to receive

I play with the birds
trills as people rush
home from work

Thirteen Ways Of Looking At a Poem – 4

Standard

4.

at times when I plant
basil such a delicate plant
I’ve to be careful to synchronize
my breath while I gently press
the dirt around as when
words sprout on paper
