What Is a Lie? :: March 7, 2008

A lie is simply
Telling the truth about things
That did not happen.

Digging :: March 6, 2008

Today my writing
Feels like I am digging through
Hard ground with a spoon.

Just for Me :: March 5, 2008

The day is still. Gray.
Then a wayward breeze rustles
Green buds, just for me.

Below the Surface :: March 4, 2008

You opened your mouth
And out came death, wrapped up in
Rich honeysuckle.

What We Do :: March 3, 2008

Most of us don’t wake
Planning to cause people pain.
But that’s what we do.

Midnight Lindy Hop? :: March 2, 2008

Above me at night,
My neighbors transform into
Dancing elephants.

Branching Out :: March 1, 2008

Cutting up tree limbs,
I defy expectations
And dirty my hands.
