As I turn for home
I see it, sneaking up on
Mount Tam and the bay.
The distant hills seem as a
Tsunami of curling fog.

I still talk to him,
Telling him about my day
Or things he's missing.
Though he will never answer
It feels quite comfortable.

Whispered friendly words
Drift like mist through a forrest,
Causing one to smile.
As one journeys from the cave,
To rejoice in bright kindness...

Whispered friendly words Drift like mist through a forrest, Causing one to smile. As one journeys from the cave, To rejoice in bright kindness... After long silence, A long hoped for message comes, Brightening the day. The mountain passes open: It is truly spring at last. (Yeah, we missed you!) |

While I sat reading,
Birdsong ceased and the skylight
Went dark above me.
High time to leave the world
Inside that book for this one.

I had forgotten
That long ago afternoon
Then I heard those notes.
How is it that a song can
Make time travel possible?

4.20.12.
Throw wide the windows
To drink in every stray breeze
As the sun descends.
Here at the top of the house
It feels a lot like summer.

Dust off the cobwebs,
Wobble down the driveway
Then pedal away.
I had not realized how
Many months I'd been off my bike.

Hey, Charlie One-Note!
Do you really need to greet
The world before dawn?
I might not mind as much if
You were more melodious.
(I suspect, but cannot prove, that the culprit is a robin....)

Restive as a horse
My kite pulls against my hands
Into the bright sky.
I lean backward, squinting, and
Ride the impossible breeze.

Inevitably
Fog drops onto the island
Like a heavy quilt.
It will not be long before
Oakland also disappears.

4.24.12
The sunset peeps through
Chinks in a towering wall
Of glowering clouds.
It doesn't take a seer
To predict a coming storm.

It's quiet enough
To hear the random patter
Of rain on shingle.
A purplish slice of dusk shows
Through the skylight overhead.

Fickle winds buffet
The branches by my window
Menacing the house.
Will they die after sunset
Or will they rattle all night?

Another Friday
Waiting for the clock's release
Into the weekend.
What emergency will rise
To bite me at the last minute?
