fiddle dreams




Siren song
ethereal notes
transport me

hop & skip
lifted by rhythm
voice & string

find the flow
drift into a dream
altered state

white paper bark curls
cascading green hearts greet me
walking past the birch

range expands
emotions sparkling
let them flow

look! sun dogs
shot through with color
clouds break free

outside gravity
allowing all metaphors
to dissolve right now

learn a new language
listening to my body
what is the message?

cold water
competed against
hot hot sun




alone on the sand
anticipating heartache
instead I found peace





half a moon
wanted to feel the
bright blue sky




you say you like feet?

mine had a beach pedicure
polished by the sand



flotsam meet jetsam

such a cute couple they make
washed up on the shore




written in the sand
love letter washes away
don't try to hold it

thump thump


venous blood
arterial blood
red & blue

heart muscle
sets things in motion
do you hear?

3 hours in Atlanta




cheery children's art
blesses the walls with color
lifting my spirit

don't drop your monkey
little girl runs joyfully
toward security

practicing
eye exercises
cube unfolds

patterns emerging
from different angles
worn floral carpet




hustle & bustle
gives way to emptiness
contemplating you

rows of chairs
waiting to be filled
I'm here first

one peg is missing
from the crooked table leg
my coffee splashes

trying to decide
if familiarity
really breeds contempt

endless oldies loop
should solve that mystery soon
where's my mp3?



3 books in my bag
philosophy, magic, food
pretty much the same

the meaning of life
found perched on a mountain top
or in a teacup

cosmic joke
so serious it
makes me laugh

domino affect
single truth starts the cascade
a light bulb moment

grandmothers move it



matriarchal pace
two grandmothers smile & nod
elegant posture
