The Leaving

Some things that we leave behind
are still ours
many are not
there is a delicate but brutal
realness to this truth
some things that we leave behind
escape our grasping hold
rather neatly
and the only option
is to bless them
on their way
or remain somehow imprisoned
by
some things

The Leaving

Some things that we leave behind

are still ours

many are not

there is a delicate but brutal

realness to this truth

some things that we leave behind

escape our grasping hold

rather neatly

and the only option

is to bless them

on their way

or remain somehow imprisoned

by

some things

A Better Way

He had a way
of telling
his dreams
a dream book on the shelf
ways and means
that boiled down to luck
and his mother’s prayers
in the end he
always
knew that dreams and numbers
were just for fun
and like the proverb
he lived
his life
knowing
save money
and money
will
save you

The Sound

A boy ran past me
on wet pavement
but the rain had stopped
the sound
of his rubber soled shoes
slapping the ground
under his abandoned
all in
run
took me suddenly on a time
travel
struck by the thought
that’s how we ran
it was the sound
of youth

A boy ran past me

on wet pavement

but the rain had stopped

the sound

of his rubber soled shoes

slapping the ground

under his abandoned

all in

run

took me suddenly on a time

travel

struck by the thought

that’s how we ran

it was the sound

of youth

The Small Boy

He thought it was a game

as they waited in the rain for the car

he ran into the traffic

or tried

his mother blocked him

twice

then

lifted him up

and held him

our divine parent

does

the

same

for

us
