The Sun – California Notebooks 02

Posted on by
Standard

*

it seems some days
that the sun moves
at a faster speed

.

it raises for a kiss
as I get a cup of coffee
and let the cat out

.

I see them playing
together in the shiny
grass birds may

.

join too as I give
shape to new poetry
typing away

.

suddenly it taps
on the backyard for
a sad goodbye

.

as I sit speechless

.

Black Rim

Posted on by

*

I walk around my

small land where trees

abound and I have

a restlessness this year

I never had as if

my garden and I have lost

communication

.

but I attend the land a lot

.

I sit waiting as at

the bed of a sick child to

whom nobody hands

water exhausted

I tighten my hands one

with the other in

silent pain I look down

.

to the aging skin

to the black rim under

my nails its dirt

sticking to me my garden’s

way to hold onto me

.

I Notice

Posted on by

I notice the silence

.

not anymore the chirping
or the chatter of the wind

.

I notice the hummingbird
trying stillness by furious

.

flapping I stop engaging
myself I let go of my eyes

.

frantic grasping of letters
on a page putting the book

.

down where it was letting
my head as beheaded

.

falling too

.

.

Poem from the bilingual book California Notebook available for you also online.

The Songs Of Butterflies

Posted on by
Standard

*
it is a revelation
not one cicada
sounds the same

a butterfly sitting
by me admiring
something I lose

myself on such lightness
I use to tell children
to stop and to listen to

the songs of
butterflies as
they nodded back

This poem, written in 2014, is from the collection California Notebooks 01, click on the title if interested in your own copy.

Beauty Lingering

Posted on by

it’s an afterward
moving

this of giving poetry
a way

to talk about the beauty
lingering

unseen
sensitivity shining

bright
in our darker days

when we
think there’s little

to be seen
