Examples Of My Poetry
Abode

A threshold without a door.
A dirt floor
for sleeping
not sweeping
me off my feet.

The smooth,cool clay
and a warm serape
by a dying fire
are all that are required
to woo me.

Listen

From a solitary bamboo flute
a low, mournful note
cries to the amethyst sky.

It is calling.

In the silent Zen garden
a master patiently waits.
Where have the students gone?

He is calling.

On the eve of her death
a woman silently weeps
for the world she is leaving alone.

She is calling.

By the light of a new moon
whose face is hung low to the earth
a child looks up in wonder.

He is listening.
