Upon the eve
We waited
Like children
For the coming days
Of wonder and hope
So we now focus
Our eyes
On a brighter future
Better than we know
Today
Upon the Eve

Sea Light
Sea light
From the myst
Of the oceans
Barreling
Waves
One on top
Of the other
The sun
Burns through
The brine air
As the speckles of water
Fill the room
Around us
Object Soup
It was a hope
That what my eyes
Glanced
Upon
Was more than just
A temporary
Feeling
But rather
Just an object
Of my gaze
Into the distance
My Juvenile Dreams
It wasn’t what
It seems
But my expectations
Always
Swing
Wildly
With hope
And fervor
But those dreams
Somehow just pass
Away without a sound
Into the life
That is
Today
Woebegone
I’m not sure
Why
But it was never
Quite right
The way the light
Hit was more
Lit
By the smoke
In the air
Now
It was just all
Woebegone
And done
Scintillating and Onerous
It was bright
Working that day
Some days
Are not that way
Not even close
But I will take the light
Upon the work
That I do
I am Obsolete
The obsolete
Path
Taken
With one wrong
Turn
Mistaken
For a way forward
Rather a way
Into obscurity
The path laid out
Will be
Tankable
Tankable
Was the water
Tankable
And palatable
From the faucet
That leaked
Past midnight
I am not sure
I would drink
That water
It’s not
Alright
Mountainous Stream
The stream
That runs through
The back
Of the house
Is quiet in the
Winter cold night
As the white snow
Runs through the brown
Trees
With green tips
But for now just
Silence
From the stream
Below
Barbarous Birds
The birds
Lurk
Over the land
Overlords
With a quick hand
Seeking the weak
And unsheltered
Among the cactus
Crawling bugs
The barbarous birds
Are looking for blood
