borders – April 14

Posted on April 15, 2015 by landl30

4.14.2015

thin like a rapier

sharp as steel

hawk nosed

and young

 

we talk across

borders of

business and

youth

 

wandering voices

striking fire

and spark yet

opaque

 

how do generations

hear one another

when texts have

changed their meaning.

april and each other – April 13

Posted on April 13, 2015 by landl30

4.13.2015

working in the yard

people stop to talk

comparing notes

 

first softened day

dogs walk and

neighbors gawk

 

with no compunction

or competition

 

no mighty roses

or patterns to get

in the way

 

of enjoying april

and each other.

raking out – April 12

Posted on April 12, 2015 by landl30

4.12.2015

raking out the winter

leavings

 

making words and

works out of

compost

 

where earthworms

transform debris

into destiny.

spring gardening – April 10

Posted on April 11, 2015 by landl30

4.10.2015

dirt digging upending

old boundaries

 

spade hunching

wending spending

deep

 

to turn over

dis-lodge undo

what was before

 

for the sake of

new.

blank possibilities – April 9

Posted on April 9, 2015 by landl30

4.9.2015

blank page filled

with unspoken

words

 

not yet condemned

condensed into

jottings

 

open. possible.

intuiting. maybes.

until

 

the page is un

blanked into

a specific

 

good, bad,

or other.

 

then it’s gone.

running clear – April 8

Posted on April 9, 2015 by landl30

4.8.2015

the streams are running

slower but clearer

this year

 

no rushing rains

pouring pressures

keep the sludge

 

from rising to mar

the surfaces

transparency

 

like years unwinding

above below

reveal

 

the true heart veins

that throb

full

 

waters which have

carried and fed

clear

 

revealing years.

young players on

at play

 

in the story we

appreciation – April 6

Posted on April 6, 2015 by landl30

4.6.2015

breathing slow and

measured I lift the

shovel

 

now of an age to

take time to measure

and feel

 

my body, use my

body, care for

my body

 

thankful for

the gift

of it.
