With sorrow…

the tree of life
cannot be taken
down by shotguns
the tree of knowledge
has because we do
not understand

Time And Places
*
those are places
geographical ones
pins on paper
tips of pens
thoughts of now
lived before
in a dream
we walked
not crossing
eyes shut
if we look the
weft increases
knowledge of
different places

A Luminous Day
*
we are here
softly abandoned
glaring at the shadow of
an airplane on the ground
one of those luminous day
where every detail is out
for count and thanksgiving
following a time dark as
the night upon which we
both struggled with
eyes wide open to
no avail in fear

This poem appears in the first volume of the “California Notebooks”.

Islands Do Float
*
after decades spent
in the seriousness of being
pondering judging achieving
fastening my seat belt
to the land of lightness
where islands do float
as all my thoughts
in enchanted bliss
here silently I’m

The Last Summer Sun
*
I turn my shoulders
to the last summer sun
inconsolable for fall
at the door and winter
following they get into
my bones and stay too
long I try resignation
to no avail on my
mutilated wings

Il tempo
Sunday posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry

il tempo lascia
tracce ovunque
le vittime non sono
mai vendicate
il tempo non si può
trattenere può essere
classificato mai
arrestato
e a pensarci
seriamente
non duriamo ma
il tempo di un respiro
il tempo si mostra
e fugge veloce

there are times when
a poem you read doesn’t
make any sense where
you suddenly realize how
nice it is to be lost

Verso le nuvole
Sunday posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry

occhi pensierosi
dorati tremolano
nella notte quando
i profumi veleggiano
verso le nuvole lontani
dallo scricchiolio
sottile dei piedi nudi
sull’erba addormentata

Step 2 of 13 Ways Of Looking At A Poem

sometimes you are just
walking minding your own
business when something almost
invisible floats in front of you
usually a bit on the side not exactly
in front you need to pay attention
and gently pick the poem
out of the air

just as bunny rabbits
at dusk poems show up
and while you stand
with your mouth open or
an enchanted smile
they rush away

fermarsi qui
smettere il tempo i pensieri
le nuvole buie scelgo la bellezza
la novità e le voci lontane
indosso la gratitudine
se non mi strappano questa
posso vivere
ovunque

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

on mornings I walk
into the sun rising with each step
I type in words – they crowd around me
at dawn very few people are
around silence is bubbling
