Never put your luggage
On the seat next to you.
You don’t know
Who the universe will place
there.
It could be a great sage,
A woman with powerful eyes,
An alien just landed from Mars,
Or a lonesome traveler
Like me.

Traveling 101
Thursday, March 31st, 2011Night Grace
Thursday, March 31st, 2011You and I, we are a
Callous troupe.
How long can we sustain
This mode?
The cold night is fast
Approaching.
Will you stay
To see us through?
Words I failed to remember,
Visions I failed to see,
Hands I failed to extend,
Now come gracefully.

Mountain Friend
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010The old hermit on the mountain
Can’t see straight no more.
His vision curves like light,
Speeding to far out galaxies.
But he has a day job.
He doesn’t look into your eyes
Lest you see the choice.
Try to move in front quick,
He’s quicker to look away.
He doesn’t look into your eyes
Lest you see too much:
the mirror that sends you running,
Or on your knees in awe.
One day I asked him what he thought.
He looked up to the sky,
He looked down to the earth,
He looked left, then right,
Sighed and turned around,
Departed without a sound.
I don’t ask him questions no more.
No, we don’t talk at all.
But when I feel alone,
He shows up at my home,
Pokes me with his stick
Until i’m on the floor laughing.
