Nines
```
In the dark
We arrive
At the west end
Of the continent
Of the millennium

To the outflowing tide
Throw passport     throw bankbook
Excrete     Vomit     Emote

Through Pisces to Aquarius VIII

       VIII
The door closed to his apartment,
After we shook hands as before;
Yet despite all the small talk shared,
I knew that I had said little
To help him understand my world.
One day I’ll return to visit
This dark city that knows no night,
And attempt to communicate
Thoughts beyond the glass reflections
That surround this skyscraping world.

Of Two
```
Windy is the night.
The storms of passion
Turned out the lights
And the love and the dreams
Of Two.

Grey clouds cover all
In their world
As the rains fall,
Streaming down the cheeks
Of Two.

From the Center of Being I

Centering each and every thing
From winging bird or grain of sand
To the largest galactic sun
Is an invisible point of Light
Connecting and communicating
With every other point of Light
Throughout the entire universe

Common sense,
What is it?
It was once a pamphlet,
But now what?

Epiphany on the Palouse – Testimonial

The road to disability began
When Mensa disallowed my score
Of one hundred and ninety seven;
Discovering the redundant
Rhyme scheme answers:
A BAD CEED CA B
On major sections of the nineteen
Sixty seven IQ exam.

July Morning

Through the pink falling rain
The illusive catbird
Clearly calls me by name

Hanging from folded clouds
Rainbow fragments
Vanish     Reappear    
Then lengthen and double     
Brushstroking
The reflected mountains
To leave the lake awash
In kaleidoscopic color

“Nasturtiums slow dance”

Nasturtiums slow dance
In the soft summer breezes
To Nature’s rhythms

Pulsing through the Milky Way
And stones on the garden path
