Falconry

I watch
With growing trepidation
As the crocheted lace talons
Struggle to maintain a precarious grip
On the close-woven wool
Of my scarlet-crossed collar.

Eyes of the Soul

Sparkling in their greenhill dances
With the doves, the crows, and Saint Francis
Well, we might as well take our chances
Blown over with our true romances
Subjected to these inward trances
Seen through impressionistic glances.

Gathered Rain

Shaking fingers
in the cold, wet,
watching the gathering rain,
and storms and gray.
I watched the invisible planes
and felt the cold, wet,
and that day I almost
drowned in the wind
while the rain rolled
off my face--
Of was it tears
that soaked my clothes,
burned my eyes,
as I sat in a room
trying to write something
people can feel,
with five minutes left,
and wondering when I'll see her
or feel it again.
