Hyacinth Pulls the Covers Over Her Head and Goes Back to Sleep




Hyacinth Pulls the Covers Over Her Head 
and Goes Back to Sleep

The cues of light are right:
half day, half night.

But it's too cold to be bold:
to open, unfold.

Spring delights?
I withhold.

Search Engine Blues

SEARCH ENGINE BLUES 

It seemed like a valid request. 
My computer didn’t agree.
Its cold, inhuman glare
left no uncertainty:

there would be no cooperation, 
no figures and nary a fact.
In an ironic change of conditions
I was the one getting hacked.

The Dance of Life





THE DANCE OF LIFE

Oak,
not mobile,
chaperones,

roots tapping
the season's
beat.
