Creation is
Inspired by
Making newness
And knowing why.
Cerulean
Ink, a blueprint
Matter sketching
About intent.
Can you do it?
I think I can.
Mark and measure
And craft the plan.
Concept—push.
Implement—size.
Manifest—pull.
Actualize.

Who Said The Owl?
Who who who who?
In plaintive tones
for want of clue,
a clause, wings, bones.
We both query,
exchange, create.
Our own theory:
Interrogate!
At length we drawl,
Our voices vie
I deign to call
Why why why why?
The Great Horned Owl
does not agree.
Her stony scowl–
now questions me.
Steam for Breakfast
Black hot liquid pours away the night, the unusual dreams.
She asks, “What would you do if you were me?
“Get the surgery! It’s like a spider on your skin!” He rises, tosses the newspaper into the trash. Walks away.
She lets the vapor curl into her nostrils.
Asked.
Answered.

Contra Dancing
Brain wants fluid
movement but the
feet see fits and
starts. Apace a
step a tap a
turn matching stir
of dancing hearts.
Hand over hand
slide under slide
on opposites
all are playing.
To pass and meet
familiar feet
circling back to
human waying.
Nighting, daying….
