The number of masts
on Wickford Harbor
declines with each day.

Sounds are fewer now,
squawking herons and
honking geese break

the screaming silence,
and where reflection
meets real is blurred

in an exceptional blue.

The myths of winter
are revealed slowly,

emptiness, stillness,
darkness, harshness,

but skies fill and fall
in the canon of snow.

emptiness enough

It would be nice
to know the history
of birds.

Not birds in general,
but that bird
at Wickford harbor,

the only other living
thing stirring this
quiet morning.

If I wrote the poem
that made me famous,

I’d burn it, toss the ashes
up into an offshore breeze,

and wait to see if it ever
blew back my way again.

(not really though)

The creature
so desires war,
craves war, his phony wars
instigations of delusion,
maelstrom misogynies,
misguided missiles,
magalopolis morbidities,
and we are eaten,
consumed.

Fast approaching a

horror scape

that renders

The business of
governance is
more the business

and we the people
have lost
everything we

October sunset,
the oaks glow
from the top down

birches have shyly
dropped their yellow

beeches turn and
chatter in gusts

maples sway and
leave their guard

and I can see deep
into the woods again.

that remained unseen

until that one poet
saw that one thing

that one day

Here we are
not really using saucers
anymore.

Paper cups can’t
harm these cafe tables,
anyhow.

And, humanity lost its
empathy so long ago
anyway.
