Children (goslings) running…
…dancing (chirping)
parents (geese)…
…breathless in pursuit
(squawking to defend)
O! numinous sun afire!

Once Dauphins of Privilege
We are now old men my
Old Friend surely as death
Comes to spring so too
We will soon pass
Regretfully and lovingly

Candy candle koan
Don’t let the worry
winds blow the flame

it ate worries away shoo
shoo move fast like April
clouds between blessed showers

I weep for the
Beautific spring
Rain tumbling
Tumble tumbling
…tumbling
onto cherry trees
losing
spring’s rosy
Blossoms going…
going
gone and gone for another
season’s passing
I weep for

Tulips strain under the weight of rain
Drops bursting open wet and dewy in
Anticipation of the threatening sky

The sun playing peek-a-boo with morning clouds
Reminds me of Ann in her fluffy blouse with school
Books in her 6 year old hand. I was the same age
She the more mature acting as if she were 8 or 9
I would make her laugh with a silly
Gesture playing peek-a-boo with her
But when I opened my eyes
She was gone and I was 66.

Big biz man munching greasy burger
His business man’s lunch a fast
Food kid burger washed down
With a cup of sensible black coffee

Gravity increased suddenly
Or so it seemed to the tulips
Weighted down by heavy rain
They bow to the rainmaker
Under pressure weight
Force heaviness a drop
Opens a petal sucumbs

I am not sure how that relates to me
Except wistfully, with fists tightened
Holding back the punch while
Storms threaten, angels weep.

The sky is bored today with spring
And spring lazily whispers a reply
My old man pains bloom in response
April Blossoms
