copse

my dog is her wolf
a little red riding hood
my neighbour's daughter

losing their acorns
the woodpeckers and bluejays
the lumberjacks come ..

[ the woodpeckers and bluejays
also hide acorns beneath the earth , like squirrels ]

ocean

an ocean , your eyes
i flow with the crest and trough
but when will i drown

just funny sorrows
as i sail through the grub street
on rafts of paper

:- after Grub Street, London, former name of Milton Street, where such writers lived ]

window

but for a window
the bits of celestial haze
just bricks on a wall

let the moon step in
waltz with the tenebrous dark
the window that's why

fragrance

the boy knows his dog
the wag of the tell tale tail
mom's cooking downstairs

his first cigarette
shouldn't a deodorant hide it
but it's a mom's nose ..

inner voice

so many rivers
flow into the seven seas
they come back as rain

forget the jargon
don't bother about meanings
it's the voice of love ..

thinking

never stops thinking
does he think of unthinking
the rodin statue

someone could just be
or begin to start thinking
of being someone

the stranger

glorious verdure
the raven and the robin
all come to the tree

look at the faces
at the railway terminus
the fabric of life ..
