    After the storm, my mind cleared.


    And a high wind arose and blew the tropics north.







    running quartz crystals through a blender.

    sand through your engines.

    bubbles in your bays.

    estuaries reaching out toward forbidden seas...

    sand through your eyes.

    Calm as baby's breath


    as peaceful as the storm's eye


    Clouds spread and drawn with rough strokes of stratospheric winds


    a warm and windy tropical day.










    7 June 2007


    Black water at dusk.

    Lighting on the horizon.


    Warm winds coming in across the darkening waters.


    A flash of white wings as an egret takes flight.


    And Thunder like God clearing his throat.

    Morning star in the still of the clear, dark waters.


    a sky as clear eyed as a young girl.


    bruised and tattered storm remnants limp off in the gathering light.

    Tickled her fancy.


    giggling all the day long.


    pretty good for a Saturday.


    Clouds on the lake floating aimlessly by.



    She smiled big--grinned really.

    A silver sky

    ripe for the mirror.

    you can not see yourself in this mirror

    you can only see others

    moreover, you can only see what others choose to expose.

    Their houses, their boats, their sea-doos.




    Birds skimming low over the water could

    like as not

    see them selves if they were to look down

    as they skim low over the water

    but they never do.

    Rather they allow their reflections to chase them

    quick and sharp over the still, glistening waters

    while the bird's mind remains ever fixed on

    food, or other birds, or escaping those damn noisy humans.










    A dense forest impenetrable as a gaze.

















    13 JUne 2007



    Like angry bee's eyes

    the metal screen seen through the bamboo blinds.



    A million insects dot the lake spreading micro ripples

    Of Fly Catchers and hidden lakes.


    Of sleeping lizards and morning dew.

    It is of birdsong and misty dawns

    and fleeced clouds floating in a still pool.


    The waters ripple awake in the gathering morn.





    The first water birds head out for the far shore.
