My Poetry and Prose Blogology
Billions and Billions
"how many of your beloved stars do you know—
who stare through the cold molasses of night..."

Angels in Her Garden
“beneath leaves of shade
countless ancestors water
a blooming garden…”
Every Creature
“God carved alabaster art out of dark space
a magnificent—reflective moon
to shine a standard of beauty and peace…”
My Old Eyes
“now—as my old eyes fade into flint
to humbly close in a fading entropy
I hope to carry one precious virtue
to a never-ending world of spirits”
Quiet Angels
“there's a perpetual sadness stirring
the pure hearts of our whispering waters…”
