a hole in the sky tonight:
presence in absence.

look up. Happiness lies near
the ground where you stand.

It has rained for days,rare for a Texas August:the moon lost in clouds.I too have been lost—low clouds blur the sky with rain;no sultry red moon.To what do I rise?The lake black in warm moonlight?Another year’s gone.With patience one waits;green corn rustles through the field.The moon ripens too.(August 21, 2016) -
We come to ourselves;patterns repeat as patterns—You, me, each our own.*And then we grow up—Almost as if we planned it:earth’s procreant urge.*I’m too drunk to thinkbeyond the now of this page—Who am I to doubt?*I desire you still,to hear your voice in laughter—to begin again.(July 18, 2016) -
Full moon at solstice,an intersection of time,which already fades.*Wine and moon drunk,who am I to question this?a rose is a rose.*Buttermilk clouds drapethe solstice moon in thin shrouds:What am I to this?*We think we can know.Language lulls us into sleep,as if the moon cares.*Never a still point,the moon dances the solstice.Yet another space:Doors open to us again,for time signifies nothing.(June 20, 2016) -
