Mortal Humor

Cover of Planet of the Blind....man and dog....

I walk in circles with an apple in my hand. I’m testing the waters of the next life. This is a way of being.

**

Who was the composer who heard apples in a basket?
Can’t remember this snowy morning…

**

Spending time with a barn cat
Talking to the blind horse
So much of what I do
Is unimportant

**

One writes myths
A troll who loves geese
Protects lost animals

**

Why do you start with punctuation and then abandon it
Sometimes I itch and sometimes I don’t

**

A small poem from one of my notebooks:

Orphan

Morning. The maples soaked with rain—
How a human mind starts up
Cold, still, dark…

I wonder
Who taught me
About life after life?

**

Mortal humor—
Old man stands
Under branches
“How sad are you?”
April vaudeville
Resting blind face
Against bark
