I BELONG TO THE WIND: poetry for children
The Sun Is a Gardener
Days are gold when sun comes up
and shines into a buttercup,
and slips between the rows of corn
and where the lady's slipper's worn.
The sun is a gardener under the blue
shimmering beads of morning dew,
and tending to her new foxgloves
she finds a ray for mourning doves.

Film Noir
this film
is a ghost
up on the screen
images flow
from a nitrate stream
deep pockets
of black and grays
slide
from a silver
revolver

The Maltese Falcon
The Maltese Falcon (from 1941
Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor)
marked the beginning of Film Noir.
If you get a chance to watch it -
you won’t be disappointed.

The Visitors
The Visitors
in the middle of the night
they wake her
she remember pieces of her past
tall grass in the yard
a house
full of light
the somber sounds
slipping
through transom
windows
and her mother’s
garden dress
how they wander
through her world
when they get up from
their bleak beds
and allow her to surface
how they never
know
they are dead
