Day 48, 2024

full moon setting over the wharf
marked by the memory of rain

daylight sends word of impending arrival
a humming procession of commuter traffic

Day 45, 2024

here, me
with a pocket full
of god’s eyes
under a watchful moon
muttering
do not fight the dream feeling

Day 39, 2024

great gog’s eye above, o scimitar moon
answering a goodly man’s question
decades on these lines

are still always a prayer. here
making friends with shy shadows
back and forth on this wharf
walking in my still crooked way

ignoring the pre-trod paths
after the manner of the hermits

these words find your ear. always
