What can I muster
for cluster?
Conglomeration?
Too much, clutch?
Congregation?
I need a hand, band,
huddle?
Now I'm in a muddle,
group, troupe?
Not cock-a-hoop,
I'm stumped, clump?
Can't find a direction,
I know it's a collection,
now I'm in a

Lesson

Ripples reaching outwards
in languid circles
kissing the riparian
on which we stood
One stone thrown
changed her waters mood
The nature
of actions & consequences
taught & understood
By Gaia's silent words

Private garden of thought
like a terrarium
without glass walls
Wouldn't we wish
to peer inside
another's mysterious mind
in voyeuristic ecstasy
as new ideas bloom
all contained
within a sealed room
the very essence of us

Of faded photographs
a pathos for forgotten memories
lost in currents of change
a telephone with wires
& no screen
Nostalgia paints poetic scenes
melancholic or magical
what once was
seems like a dream
a lament for simpler things

Destination Mystery

My sister is a #bibliophile
her room has
thousands of books
in hundreds of piles

our house is a library
we're swimming in a sea of words
drowning in chapter & verse

if we live to 104
we'd never have time to read them all

I fear most of the stories
will remain untold

Her silence
was a photograph
love had not taken yet

Tires hissing
early morning race
get to surrender your time
everyday
in exchange for money
that never makes problems
go away...
I'm tired of the fucking same
are we really identity numbers?
are we defined by names?
will it always be this way?
