  • Mummer’s Jig (Poem)

    Glowing skeletons in neon hue

    Jitter and jangle across the sky.

    They fill the air with discordant shrieks

    Underlaid with a cello drone.

    The universe dances with them in mad lurch,

    And autumn leaves rain to the ground.

    They cover the mountains in fantastic garb,

    Swirling in the chill breeze.

    All this a presentiment: Winter fast approaches.

  • How To Count (Poem)

    How to delineate a life lived?

    Let us use not temporal posts of days or years

    But limn the finer measure

    Of love given and received

    Of kindness extended with a free hand

    Of compassion shown in minute and larger ways

    Of laughter shared with those around.

    Choose to see joy

    And continue to delight in our communal dance.
