Squat ugly gnarled trunk
tapering branches flower...

We look for landmarks,
familiar spots in roads...

Jocular twins with the knack
of sarcasm; we cannot assume...

It always starts the same:
I find myself in a resort hotel...

Dogs and Children, too
should be greeted with a smile...

You never grow up
but if you are fortunate...

When your kingdom comes
know the slaves who built your throne...

No words more pleasing:
"Yes, I want to spend the rest...

I met you on the riverbank
it was in the spring of the evening...

I'm not one to say
I told you so . . . but I am...

Hot paths in shadows
dog sniffs along star lit trail...

She dropped me off
with my luggage in hand...
