“Spring Percolates”

Pear tree blossoms
plentiful
as the stars,
packed into constellations
individual as the eye,
purity of milk and diamonds,
whitecaps of oceans
awaken
into another dream,
lost moments found,
forgotten tales
retold
of skeletal branches
putting on fat and flesh,
garbed in gowns of organza,
taffeta and voile,
of golden green,
magenta’s pink,
and crimson of the maples,
the stars
descend from the heavens,
dip into the tin paint
gallons of the rainbow,
morph into manifold
forms of delight,
crayola of corollas
dazzle
upon the vibrant grass.

“Fragments of Bread”

Fragments of bread
hours after supper
fill my ceaseless hunger —
Midnight and the light
is sparse,
the camel-eyed windows
gaze
at Giacometti
shadows —
Daybreak alights:
I laugh with the warblers,
and the breath of my nostrils
fires the oven,
the bread for my hunger,
once again.
